Unfortunately "spot whats wrong with this code" or "what will this code do" have long been staples of interviews, at least here in the UK almost invariably involving IME convoluted multiple inheritence. Its a lot easier for lazy interviewers to just go through a checklist of answers than ask someone to write some code and have to figure out what they did. Unless you solely want to hire people to bug fix wierd edge cases then its far more useful IMO to see how they problem solve and what sort of code they write.
