I think you're giving them way too much credit. My guess is they manually deploy changes to the servers and you have mixed code servicing requests for a while. Either that, or the code is buggy and errors out in some use cases.

Cynical, yes - but I have never seen A/B testing where one of the options is repeatedly straight up broken.
