Developers usually lock the code for "shipping" before a product is officially released. One plausible scenario is that LINE asked for a deadline just after the bug was discovered, possibly end-September. LINE would then push them to publish code with what they had so far, which was the medal system and Halloween event. If the bug was resolved, it would be during this time, and for LINE it wouldn't make sense to release the new season during Halloween. So in that way, it would work out for both parties if the new season would be released tomorrow.

One more thing to add is that we are a vocal minority of all the players. I guess that very few players percentage-wise are aware of the differences between the LINE and Kakao versions and will happily accept any changes but do not expect them.
