No way

And before you tell me "BUGS ARE MEANT TO HAPPEN !!!", yes, small bugs are meant to happen, not game breaking bugs in the highest tier of content in the game.

Just like the whole housing fiasco with the winner being number 0, those things are not small bugs, and if there was testing it would have been noticed.
even Q&A cannot catch all bugs. thats unrealistic since Q&A is not testing on a live server.

from what appears to happen, its when the servers are under load according to the release, which since they did not say what kind of load, its likely the devs had to go over logs to try and determine how it happens and may not have been able to be replicated in their test environment. Since it has been cleared, clearly it was not happening 100% of the time, which are some of the hardest bugs to root out. the devs where I work see this with our software, and its called "unintended application". It cannot really be "tested" because its not a workflow the devs OR Q&A had thought of or would use. could they have caught it? sure, maybe, the number 0 one, most likely, this one I am not so sure because the test server, no matter how close you make it to live, will never be a live server.
