I've seen worse - there was a wonderful hand (http://tinyurl.com/bsflb27) where GIB refused to lead a cashing ace against a redoubled grand slam, then found itself triple-squeezed out of the ace during the play.
At least East had the sense not to double if he knew he wasn't going to lead the AK.

And BBO really needs to look into and find+fix the root-cause here.
If the simulation before the lead worked as intended, none of these should have happened.
How many other flawed leads does Gib do, that are not as obvious as these two?

Not the worst, since we've all seen it before. Some time ago, BBO made a change to get GIB to cash an Ace against a grand slam in NT. They neglected to have it cash an AK against a small slam, and that remains uncorrected.

If the simulation was correctly implemented, it should of course come out right in those cases, regardless.
Fix the bug there instead, and you dont need to keep fixing every new special-case you forgot, one-by-one as they get discovered.
This is proof there is at least one bug in the simulation-code, and as I wrote,
how do we know how many other, less obvious, mis-plays in defense by Gib are caused by this?
There have been some other pretty suspicious cases reported here before, but much harder to say with certainty if they were bugs, or "just the way simulation works", etc.

Here one such example, that comes to mind:
