I think that is a correct assessment. And even if the beta testers reported it, I'm not sure how likely CA was to fix it. There were a number of apparent stat errors/discrepencies in the original file that were not addressed by the patch in any way--yet these had been reported in various bug threads for months. I will cut the beta testers quite a bit of slack, because they probably had very limited time to find all this, some things are hidden without modding, and even if they reported a problem, there was no guarrantee that it would be fixed.
