No we're in a situation where a bug in the type checker was found and will be fixed and a new release will be made.
That it took 11 years for someone to come across this is a fairly intense counterargument to your attempt to paint this as a language with dangerous footguns.

A gun in a glass case with a warning label reading "do not aim at foot"?
Cos that worked in the past right? Remember when Devs weren't checking error codes so languages added exceptions that were apparently meant to fix that gap. Except for the reality was a lot of empty try/catch blocks, or the errors just getting ignored anyway.
Same thing will happen to unsafe rust once it becomes ubiquitous and we will be back talking about how to fix the problem of stupid coders
