I don't disagree. Clarifying, I personally don't think this exploit is a backdoor, but rather that the negligence is enough to appear malicious.
Just for fun (not saying I believe this!): Did you ever consider that a malicious Microsoft employee may have intentionally planted this exploit? They don't have access to signing keys. They aren't able to make custom firmware. However, what they can do is leave innocent looking code in Windows that they and their co-conspirators can exploit later. Completely possible (-:
