I don't know that it was so much "bad" code as they didn't want other groups to try and put Honeycomb on devices that it did not work on (i.e. phones). This would hurt the brand and fill the tech blogs with "Honeycomb is unstable and buggy!" when it really didn't belong on those devices in the first place.

There's a new release now that is stable for all kinds of devices, is it worth it to concern ourselves with what exactly is or isn't Honeycomb? I don't think they were trying to snow something over, I think this was their plan. Release Honeycomb after ICS since device manufacturers will use ICS anyway since it's new.
