I've only ever heard "bug" and "débuger", and only saw "bogue" in some publication that would also use "courriel" and the likes. Maybe this has to do with a younger generation? Quebec will probably have a bias for "bogue", as always, but in France I'd say most people use "bug".

In Québec we commonly use bug/bogue, but might pick a confusing French word in official communications, as is tradition.

True, except I've only heard it pronounced "boog".
To debug is "déboguer", which only means to debug (and not opening/removing the chestnut burr).
Alternatively, "défaut" is also used (defect). Sometimes the more general "erreur" (error) can be used.
However, the English word "bug" is getting used more and more (along with "débuguer", the French way to turn "to debug" into something usable in the language).
