I am very skeptical that there's any bug here. Several times throughout Quackle's history I've had it play millions of games for various purposes and audited the words played including hooks for phonies. In the early days there were some, and I caught a few bugs this way. But now I can run Quackle arbitrarily many selfplay games without any nonwords showing up in the logs. There were also previously some errors in the Collins dictionary due to my sloppy process of typing/scanning the hardcover CSD I got in London in 2005. HAKIR was never in any copy of my Collins, and the current cswapr07 lexicon is correct. I think that Stu probably misread FAKIR or HAKIM, but we'll never know for certain. Quackle does have still have plenty of bugs, but people do also misreport bugs, so in the future I'd encourage people to send screenshots# or .gcg files, since this will make sure they're taken 100% seriously and might provide addition information to help in fixing the problem.
