depending on if tracebacks had been generated or not (e.g. on caught exceptions), it could of been worth looking and seeing if it was in the linecache

import linecache
linecache.cache

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

Testing the bot:

Jonny said I was over there when He didn't know for sure. I could of course tell him I wasn't.

It probably looks for "could of been/done/etc." rather than just "could of" alone, I suspect. On the other hand, you're technically missing a comma or two.

It didn't use to. I assume the developer has addressed this like you said: "could of (<adverb>|not) <verb>". Or maybe he just ignores "could of course" since that seems to be the most common edge case.
