I've found (a couple of times now) that if something happens while you are swatting a time bomb, you end up with a non-working bomb
Once I've ended up with a bomb with the needle spinning (was given a parachute while swatting)
and one the needle stuck pointing up wards, and neither swatter, bumping into other karts, getting another bomb (which was drawn in the same place resulting in two needles!), driving into a banana or being rescued would make it go away

Has this happened to anyone else? Does it happen in the latest dev version?

Hmm, I have experienced this before in 0.7.3. I don't use the latest dev version, so I can't confirm if it has been fixed or not

Yes, this has happened to me. I tested it by getting full swatters, then running into bananas until I got a time bomb, then activating a swatter and driving through another banana before it knocked the bomb off. The needle either freezes or keeps going in a circle. I have had ten dud time bombs on at one time. XD Frankly, I think it's cool to have a dud time bomb, so I am not worried about it.

there is a bug for this in the tracker. though I couldn't find a link
