That translation is wrong. It’s almost the opposite.

Vorführeffekt is when you are trying to show something works (for example to an audience/in a presentation) and it does NOT work in said presentation.

Remember this oldie but goldie for USB Plug and Play on Windows? https://youtu.be/IW7Rqwwth84

PS: thanks for all the comments! Didn't realise the double negation would work too. (Trying to show a bug you found in a meeting/to an audience but then it turns out it actually behaves unexpectedly as originally intended. No bug.)
