How would anyone know if the program they use generates weak transaction nonces though?

You'll have to go through the code and see how ECDSA is implemented in the software you are using. A good way to avoid this bug and a bunch of similar ones is generating k deterministically instead of randomly. One way that is used in most Bitcoin implementations is RFC-6979.
