Maybe instead of trying to detect LLMs, would a better strategy be to try and detect inconsistent or self-contradictory reports? The reports we see here seem to unravel at some point, either leaving out crucial information, such as code location or steps to reproduce, while insisting the information is present - or straight-up claiming things about a code location that are not there.

Such as the buffer length check in [1] where the report hallucinated an incorrect length calculation and even quoted the line, then completely ignored that the quoted line did not match what the report was talking about and was in fact correct.

So essentially, can we put up a gaslighting filter?

It seems like those kinds of inconsistencies could be found, ironically, by an LLM.
