This is a good point. Being somewhat familiar with the code, but not enough to call this a provable lie, there is nothing I'm aware of that really fits this statement. No "error" that caused it to "leak". I don't think they wanted it to leak, but the design of it could only constrain it so much. It was intentionally designed to infect other computers in order to reach its target.
The other part that makes no sense to me is the bit about the "beacon" that would deliver info back to them over an air gap network. This is rather confusing and inconsistent with what has been seen from it, but it's not impossible.
But of course these statements went through several non-technical people and were written for a non-technical audience, so they might be based on something accurate and just sound funny.
