Yes, the first thing I thought of was "glitch in the matrix", and subsequently watched "The Matrix" with my 2 eldest children, which they enjoyed (event though to them it is an "old-time movie").
I think of glitches in terms of cartridge games, and encoded video. To me (and this is subjective of course), a glitch is not due to a programming error per se, but rather to an external influence (improper cartridge insertion, video stream interrupted, etc..) cause odd behavior.
I'm convinced that the definition of the word "glitch" is somewhat onomatopoeic. The strange feeling it creates in your mouth when you say it, with its abundant consonants feels like it reflects the artefacts it describes.

This is reflected in glitch, the musical genre, one that's dear to my heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWOvwNj7KsY
