you can file a bug report even if it only happens on a single operating
system.

I think Max implied that he wanted to submit a report as complete as possible up front.

the recording code is highly platform specific (that is: the recording backends are platform specific), so it might well be that there is a bug on one system not showing up on others.

Yes, therefore it would also be a good idea to have a screenshot, especially one containing a correct picture and the equivalent broken picture side to side. That way, for example, someone who doesn't have the OS required to run the bug, can still fix the bug by just looking at the screenshot. But this requires an example with enough different colours... just grey is not enough. For example, this picture :

has more colours than one would ever need, to identify the problem, so, it's perfect for that.
