Many users feel stolen by UCT programs. I have read that in the KGS chatrooms. Normal users do not count with +/- 0.5 point precision. They have the impression the program blundered and they caught up. But when the program counts, surprise!, it wins by 0.5 points Chinese.
If the program blundered as you said and still wins, it means that the program already won much earlier in the game. It is not a matter of chinese or japanese rules, and it is not a steal. Also, as you speak about KGS chatrooms, this behavior has been explained many times by developers, and now I feel many people know that, and when someone is surprised, there is almost always someone explaining why. The informations in the program profile are also here for that. Sylvain
