I was thinking about this obsessively last week. As soon as you take the usual steps to announce a bug, those coins are lost.
The only conceivable option would be a well-coordinated white hat attack.

That would only be possible if they have spy data from their desktop wallet app about who owns what utxo. Maybe they could partner with coinbase and other exchanges to verify owners but that would only work for never sent coins. How do you verify ownership otherwise?
Maybe they could've done serial number - seed entropy matching if they had the data from production and ask people to submit both and match it with the seed of their utxo.
