I can confirm this problem for Karmic although I believe it has been
around at least since Jaunty.

Maybe this has something to do with unsuccessful commands not being
saved in the history anymore?  This is something I realized recently to
have happened.  I think it's arguable whether that is a bug or a
feature.

$ env|grep HIST
HISTSIZE=1000
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth;erasedups
$ sort ~/.bash_history | uniq -d -c | sort -n | tail -n 4
     10 top
     12 bg
     15 sudo aptitude
     24 pidof xfdesktop
