Wouldn't it be grand if we had an honest enough industry that you could tell the truth about how previous projects went, consistently? Every time I've screwed up, I've learned something, either about myself as an engineer or about project dynamics, and I really hope I apply it. I'd rather hire and be hired by other people who understand that we are both aiming for consistent success and learning from failure, and who are honest enough to own it. I had to smile at this. Stuff like this happens all the time. But I'm kind of surprised that the bug was incorrectly pri'd and ignored through how many triage meetings? I don't know many test or dev pms who would blow off a complete review of all current bugs regardless of status or assignment...and certainly as responsibility rises, there are more people willing to crawl that list, ad naseum.
