> this typo apparently hasn't yet been fixed in the repos

IIUC, once an Ethereum program is started, it cannot be killed or fixed. If so, updating the gitbub repo would be pointless at this time.

If it has a provision for forwarding all assets (with the necessary internal state detailed) to another address/DAO, then you can basically perform a migration to a fixed version.

There is no such provision. You can transfer the "balance" of a contract to another, but not any of it's internal state. This is left up to the programmer and AFAICT, they didn't implement this feature in the DAO contract(s).

Or a malicious one. The move has to be voluntary.
