In fact, IIRC Ambassadors are assigned after a few days, and then they find you, right? I suspect this will have negligible impact.
My point was, my take on what [MENTION=901822]hipquest[/MENTION] said was that if this was intentional, then those who got Ambassador the legit 100 night way might get ticked off. But I recognize now you are talking about hipquest's note of a possible burden on the Ambassador program, but I don't think that's what hipquest was referring to.

But yes, as you said, to me this seems to be a(nother) mistake and it will get sorted out without much issue. I mean, they're already being slammed, so 0.01% more getting slammed is not much when it's already 110% slammed.
