It is funnily interesting to me how they prefer to capitalize the word BUG, perhaps as a means of drawing attention to its (apparent) importance.

The pattern I've seen before is all-caps tags inserted in the code, making for easy grep, e.g. FIXME, BUG, TODO. Perhaps it becomes habit.

My super hitech code editor (erm...gedit) highlights FIXME and TODO in comments so you can easily find them while scrolling. Doesn't know about BUG though so I guess it just assumes you write bug-free code.
