One popular game bug in the Quake series was "strafe jumping" [1]. It became a canonical movement technique that got ported into other games.

Another one is "wavedashing" in Smash Melee. Not really a bug, but certainly strange behavior that became vital in competitive play.

Similarly "skiing" in the Tribes series was a glitch in the first game that eventually became the later games' signature maneuver.

Snaking in F-Zero GX or Mario Kart. Especially in the former, it makes the game even crazier than it already is.
