Isn’t the best solution to stop the release in that case, and wait until the bug is fixed? It sends a signal to everybody that language correctness takes precedence over this extremely important feature that more developers depend on than the new features in the release, instead of treating the two with the same seriousness.

Correctness takes precedence, which is why the incorrect code has been disabled, and even the full fix is going to go through a whole 6-week beta/release cycle instead of being expedited.

It would have to be quite a severe bug in order to justify delaying the release, which IMO was not warranted in this case. AFAICT, the effect of this bug is just that some users cannot compile their code without either clearing out their incremental compilation cache or disabling incremental compilation altogether. If it were truly severe, then they could have also disabled incremental compilation completely; right now it's only off by default.
