I'll note that the authors have published some initial errata already:
http://www.strews.eu/results/91-d12

In addition to the "we used Fx 28" to test (and mis-characterized how 28 
works as well, especially how permissions apply), I have many more  
issues with various bits of the paper, but I'll hold them for now - I 
think there's active discussion on other mailing lists and between 
various people and the authors.  There certainly is useful information 
and analysis there as well.
