It seems we've established (very thoroughly) that Mega should not be trusted to keep our files secure.
But that's not the point of their crypto; it's just an effort to ensure plausible deniability that happens to be a marketable feature.
If your objective is to stash sensitive files, there are plenty of established options.
It's obvious that Mega was not intended to serve such a purpose, so the criticism strikes me as pointless except for its instructional/entertainment value.

In case anyone is looking for an option, I recommend Tarsnap. http://www.tarsnap.com http://www.tarsnap.com Tarsnap is simply the best. Spideroak is probably okay. But if you have files that absolutely must remain confidential (e.g. NDA'd source code, etc) then Tarsnap is the service that can be trusted to store them correctly.
