Yeah, but aren't some interview questions specifically intended to screen out those kinds of programmers before they do too much damage?

Sure; but there are a ton of places they can get a job as a "programmer" having only interviewed with a non-technical manager. These people become experts at this type of interview and are able to do what I call, "dazzling with bullshit" quite effectively.
