Let's not forget that these folks do more than most to contribute to said FREE product (WordPress) than just about any other company on earth. I think they've earned the right to screw up (assuming they own it and fix it).
Going down the road that this is a violation of the plugin guidelines, the standard procedure is that you fix it and get reinstated. Given that they did so rather quickly (before they could even be penalized), most of the complaining sounds rather entitled.
