What about a keyword for bugs that
- generate wrong code
- affect a standard-conforming program

IMHO, these bugs are especially nasty and should get high visibility
(and maybe even special privileges for fixing on a release branch).
It's called 'wrong-code'? Maybe I'm missing something though.

Perhaps that doesn't connote enough gravitas.
