Although, keep in mind that many who reported the bug "in the wild" say that it happened with face-button presses only. I did happen to reproduce it twice by combining face-button presses with IR presses, but my results were inconclusive.

IR input doesn't have to come from a remote control. The sun is rather good at generating it too.
