That was my first thought, too. I've had some bugs that actually make good stories, if told right... But I had a lot of other stories that are better. The only halfway interesting bug I can think of right now is actually pretty lame, and the rest of the story that goes with it is halfway interesting.
There's always a danger when picking out certain criteria and claiming they mean something. In this case, 'ability to remember an interesting bug' does not actually select for good programmers. It just happens to overlap somewhat.
