We consider these kinds of issues the highest priority and always work to resolve this ASAP. The resolutions very often include not only the fix but protections to ensure that unintended actions don't bypass anything in the future. It's really unfortunate you had these experiences and I can't back up the statement when I say that this isn't normal and every release certainly does improve stability in a big way. Terraform is a very, very heavily tested (unit + acceptance) project and we fight very hard against regressions with multiple tests per bug in many cases at different levels. I'd encourage you to continue giving future versions a shot and if you experience anything like this again, let us know and we'll react to that quickly relative to other types of issues.
