Agile development should mean that a small number of bulletproof features are released on a regular basis; focus is on a small feature set with each release to ensure quality, and each iteration adds new features. Unfortunately, it also sometimes means (somewhat contrary to agile development philosophy) that quality control and testing are left by the wayside in the push to release early and often.
Given the ePub font issue, the lack of PDF reflow, and the completely unpredictable red light issue, I'd say they pushed out without testing. That said, the list of things in the firmware wish list thread should all be checked off eventually. I just wish that when they've got mission-critical bugs that they'd do every other day or weekly releases to fix one or two things with each release.
