Don't you think, as a Mac ROM developer, the chances of your software bug being accidentally fixed by the CPU through an undocumented instruction are pretty low? That's what I was getting at when I wrote that.

Of course they would have fixed it if it had prevented the system from booting, I even said that in the article. I still think the odds of what happened here were pretty small. That's what I meant by miraculous.
