Authentication requires attention to security no matter how do it. There's no silver bullet.
As far as I can tell, using Persona requires less attention to security than doing it myself. I don't see how that translates to creating "much more serious" security problems.
Perhaps you are a security expert who can do a better job than a team of Mozilla developers who are dedicating themselves full-time to solving authentication problems. I'm not. I know enough to know that security is harder than it looks, and that even if I salt my fries and crypt my bees, I can still screw things up[1]. Better to outsource it... well, as much as I can, anyway.
