I'm guessing they didn't have an automated test case for that - it's pretty outlandish - and few of their beta testers or developers use guest accounts, at least on the machines they installed pre-release versions on. It also depends on the details of the case where the bug manifests.

You would have thought that would be on the list of "Things we must test, because the beta testers probably wont"
It will be now.

When in the distant past I worked in Software quality control, a lot of effort was put into working out where beta testers were more likely not to go, so where extra effort would likely be required., and guest accounts would have been right up there on the list. of course as you say, it depends what kicks this off when it happens, and errors will always get through. (The old Windows xp has 6000 errors campaign, was the result of calculating out testing time and number of lines of code)

Has an update already been provided? My snow leopard waiting period was drawing to a close.

10.6.2 is in the pre-release phase - I'm guessing it'll be held up while a fi for this is rolled in.

According to the register, they're aware, and working on a fix.
