Several people, myself included, have tried this but only received the message with picture, e-mail, and full name when entering their own email or an email from someone who has used that computer to successfully log in to Facebook.
I also tried using the email of two random people--one I know is on FB with whom I am not FB friends and another who is a FB friend. It didn't work either time.
It is irresponsible to print and perptuate a story like this that is eithr not true, not completely true, or at least no longer true (if the so-called bug has been fixed).
The story is all over Twitter, FB, etc. so it is out there and you can't take it back.
But I am astounded that the "reporters" who are writing about this have not done more due dilligence (trying to find the loophole using one email is not due dilligence, by the way) nor updated their stories to include the information posted in the comments here and elsewhere.
And reporters wonder why no one trusts them ...
