I think it is simply "capture effect".

One person reports the problem, and then others see it and
say "me too" because they were previously too busy to report
their instance of the problem.

Another thing is that a developer is sometimes working on something
and they do not want to pollute the bug reporting if the code they are
writing is what is causing the bug via some indirect corruptions or
whatever :-)
