I think the key here is that it's a bug in iOS, not in Instagram. So FB isn't even the responsible party.

Additionally, it's a beta version of iOS, so we're supposed to be expecting bugs anyway.

Are you getting that interpretation from the article's text? The article says that Instagram found and is fixing a bug in iOS. That is incredibly doubtful, since they don't have the source code or OTA update mechanism for iOS. They found and are fixing a bug in Instagram code on iOS.

Almost funny to see that people are taking a feature from an unreleased, beta version of iOS as certain proof that companies are acting mischievous.

To be fair given the Facebook family of applications history in regards to gathering information from every source possible there isn't much reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Even more funny (or sad?) is people reading an article with a headline saying it's Instagram, clearly quoting Instagram as saying they'll fix the bug, and then claim Apple is at fault, despite nothing in the article suggesting that.
