Is an illusion something other than a system failing to correctly represent its otherwise accurate sensory input?

Particularly if it happens in a specific and reproducible way, so that even though the information it gathers is accurate, said information is internally represented as being something different and inaccurate.

Because I can write programs that have bugs that are pretty much that.

I'm not sure, but that's an interesting and possibly valid point.
