This was testing done right. The feature was offered as opt in and clearly
marked as beta. A bug was found and quickly fixed. When you're testing beta
software, you have to expect bugs.
We've been quick enough to knock rollouts done poorly or made default with
inadequate testing, and should be. Let's not knock the ones done right.

"Insufficient" is in the eyes of the beholder :) Beta Features are
experimental, and Ori's announcement clearly indicated that this
particular feature was "for intrepid beta testers".
This means that the feature is still being tested, and that people who
enable it should expect to find bugs, and should report them so they
can be fixed before the feature is deployed more widely.
This is precisely what happened in this case, so the testing process
worked as expected. Developers can't find All The Bugs alone, which is
why they need the help of volunteer testers.
