This isn't specific enough, but may be useful to you nonetheless:

"Error Rates in Programming" from "The Human Error Website" by Ray
Panko, University of Hawaii.
[ http://panko.cba.hawaii.edu/HumanErr/ ]

There are sections for Normal Development, Formal Development, Late
Inspection and Test-Retest.  This is general information comparing
errors in programming languages from studies in 1971 to 1998 for
programs of various sizes.
