I doubt they did. Beta testers are by and large NOT mindless morons and script-monkeys, they are in general very perceptive and thorough folks. I happen to know a few personally. I still say all signs point to upper management pushing this out the door knowing what state it was in. The fact that a patch was announced on release day to me is just the final piece of the puzzle. Shame on them for doing so.
