You say that like they're rare.
Many bugs can come out of compiler errors.
of course, I don't see it as likely but I've found quite a few when doing deep investigative dives on specific topics even when you're shilling out enterprise $$ on accuracy.
Considering that major CPU errors make it to the end user as well, I don't doubt it.
Some errors are just subtle from these, and the ones I've seen could have easily made it past every check before someone finally realized something was wrong.

Compiler errors that make it to the end user? No, this just means that they didn't test their game on all platforms.
