Seen once again with up-to-date F20. This is annoying since I cannot report kernel crashes using abrt-vmcore.

Thank you for the report! I opened a pull request for this bug report:
https://github.com/abrt/abrt/pull/883

Thanks! But does that fix the problem, or just the handling of the error, i.e. does that mean that reporting kernel crashed will work?

Yes, the patch only makes sure that the service will remain working if something removed the destination problem directory (I can't imagine how is that possible, perhaps something remounted /var or a temporary data cleaner did that). In such a case, the service will skip the currently processed vmcore and will continue with the next one.

I verified that the processing of vmcores works as expected under normal circumstances.

OK, I'll see whether harvesting vmcores now works on F21.
