Given the number of developers in such a short amount of time I'm not surprised that there are issues. Apple recently mentioned that the dev SDK has been downloaded over 800,000 times. Even if 10% of those downloads resulted in a new app it means that Apple has to deal with 80,000 developers. Not an unsubstantial amount of accounting that would be involved.
Submission + - All Five Smartphones Survive Hacker Contest (computerworld.com)

TippingPoint had offered $10,000 for each exploit of any of the phones, which included the iPhone and the BlackBerry, as well as phones running the Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android operating systems. 'With the mobile devices so limited on memory and processing power, a lot of [researchers'] main exploit techniques are not able to work,' said TippingPoint's Terri Forslof. 'Take, for example, [Charlie] Miller's Safari exploit,' referring to Miller's 10-second hack of a MacBook via an unpatched Safari vulnerability that he'd known about for more than a year. 'People wondered why wouldn't it work on the iPhone, why didn't he go for the $10,000?' she said. 'The vulnerability is absolutely there, but it's a lot tougher to exploit on the iPhone.'"
