I'm a bit torn, tell you the truth. But there is absolutely a difference between an easter egg, something that usually takes real effort to discover and trigger, and something that runs as part of normal execution. In regards to the examples you give where it causes vulnerabilities or bugs, I think it can be a test if the software you're actually embedding the egg in needs to be improved. If an easter egg breaks something then that's probably indicative of a larger problem.
