Well, if the people testing it know as much about the game as the people who were streaming during the maintenance yesterday...
Ever since GMS Tespia failed, they've been using the live servers and real players as testers. When they put up a patch they fully expect it to have gamebreaking bugs, and plan on the game being up only long enough for the players to find the worst of the bugs and flood the forums with reports. It's disgusting but it kind of works. I doubt Tespia would have found the crit bug, if indeed it only happens with crit nebs, unless they copy characters over from the live servers to Tespia. (And even then, they'd probably need to copy whole accounts for some bugs, like anything to do with link skills or character cards).
