I suspect this is more FUD than incompetence. Mt. Gox could solve the issue without a change to the Bitcoin protocol by tracking the entire transaction and not just the hash. But instead of fixing their own problem they make it sound like Bitcoin itself is broken. Why would they do this? Cui bono? If Mt. Gox has been scammed out of a large amount of Bitcoin, they may not own enough to fill withdrawal requests. If this is true, then a steep decline in the price of Bitcoin could allow them to cover the gap.
