Basic bots suck. Not really worth complaining about. If you want a better game pay up for the advanced bots.

I think the point is more that there's no point in complaining about GIB's card-play.

Fair enough, but if someone ever does get around to addressing GIB's declarer play issues, surely it can't hurt to have a database of examples of poor technique. And if nobody does get around to it, or it proves technically impossible, there's no harm in a Catalogue of Horrors.

It doesn't really help. Because examples like you give here are already fixed in the advanced bots. Advanced bot with enough time won't make this kind of blunder at all.
If you are playing with basic bots, it has the far superior (and more computation intensive) Gibson algorithm commented out according to barmar, and it is playing at an ultra-fast rate where it can't analyze a lot of deals using the older double-dummy technique either. It is as if you are playing with someone who has had a stroke wiping out his higher reasoning capabilities, and also asking him to play at lightning speed. Documenting that person's errors under such conditions doesn't really serve much purpose. There's no path to improving GIB when it's crippled like that.
Bidding database errors, on the other hand, affect both the basic and advanced bots, and are more feasible to fix for both. The advanced bots have better "judgment", but better book bid definitions help them both quite a bit.
