It is not bugged, just a bit unclear what you're supposed to do - different buttons will highlight and you have to push them within a second interval. It is hard to figure that out because yeah the first couple of times you're like huh and it fails immediately. Definitely not bugged, the mechanism works fine, and imho is better than the device they use at least on the PC (which would have been way too difficult on a console pad in any case). Happy gaming!
I've got the same issue on the PS3 version. While admittedly I don't have the reflexes of a 13 year old, I think I'm pressing the buttons pretty fast (well within a second) and I've yet to succeed at one of these. Most of the time I fail at the first key press; once I got the first two in time but then failed on the third.
I suspect there is indeed a bug here.
