Live Letter Alpha rubber-banding and lag

The live letter is filled with footage of this happening but it's really noticeable at about 1:31:58. You start seeing a lot of running in place and teleporting. Keep watching the bottom right when they minimize the game and you'll see a lot more.

It's alpha. This is exactly what they're testing. They have (triple digit number) of players, plus mobs / NPCs, and they're testing the limits of the zone capacity. I'm assuming all of the things you've mentioned are side effects. They said they're fixing the issue for the next week and then continuing the testing for 5 days after that, and then opening it up for global alpha.

Don't criticize like the game is the finished product. They're just under half a year from release.

This is exactly the attitude that got us the 1.0 launch. Don't assume that SE will fix everything to your expectations if you don't say anything about it.

Please please criticize this game if you see problems with it. If you don't, how else will SE know what you want or where they need improvement?

It's alright. Alpha is currently doing precisely what it's supposed to be doing, seeing at which point that rubberbanding starts and ends.
So from this we can presume that alpha testing is running on schedule?

OMG! PANIC! DESTROY THE GAME!! JUST START OVER!!!

This is why they do testings, to ensure that the game is stable for launch.

The players, along with developers that work with said players, ensure that a game is stable for launch.

Assuming was his words, not hers.
