It's important not to disguise any anti-piracy measures as bugs, because pirates (or even reviewers playing pirated copies) will loudly proclaim that the game is buggy, and discourage legitimate buyers.

I'm wondering why there isn't a service that lets you search for people encountering your crack-penalty. A really sneaky company would disguise itself as a hacker group, then offer a copy of the game that doesn't have that "bug." (But has another one.)
