Actually, unless I'm mistaken, the above setup is not required to see the bug. It seems that ANY attempt to recall the "n" statistics register by pressing ENTER when n is displayed in the MEM/VAR catalog will always fail. If (i) points to an existing register, then pressing ENTER when n is displayed will recall (i) to the stack instead of n. If (i) does not exist, then pressing ENTER when n is displayed will generate an error.

Try it. Just make sure that n exists, and make sure that (i) points to some existing register. Then MEM/VAR, down-arrow to n, and press ENTER. Now try again with (i) not pointing to an existing register. No other setup or procedure is needed to see the bug in action. Since these conditions are not unusual, it amazes me that nobody noticed this bug before.
