The problem with this approach is that you'll almost never get any answer in a day or two and with so many of the "legitimate" promos only lasting a day, that means you'll miss most of them.
It likely was an error (just as the massive freebie weekend in the Kindle store, when the publishers first took over their own pricing, was a mistake -- yet, nearly all were honored, other than a few pre-orders that were for books that never released at all, likely due to geo restrictions that were entered wrong and were corrected by adding a new ASIN).
The books are still there, just not free. I waited to download some for today (although I grabbed the license files yesterday) and they are still downloading, so haven't been removed from their catalogs and the license are being honored by Kobo/ADE.
