I actually saw Grace Hopper in LA during the early 80s. She told this story, along with showing her physical "nanosecond" (the string representing the distance light travels in a nanosecond). I doubt she said "no one ever called it a bug before this." I also don't remember if she claimed to have written the notation in the log, or merely said that someone did. It was a just a charming pun about bugs, and a story about how big that computer was.
