My understanding is that there were problems with the whole Open PDK, and that most designs would have run into similar issues even if Caravel wasn't preventing IO configuration.
The didn't ship those early OpenMPW runs out at all, the designs where resubmitting to later runs. In a way, the incident proves the point: Caravel allowed them to quickly prove their yield for those early shuttles was essentially 0%, without needing to test the user design.
