In general, yes, you are more lucky on average with the stable releases [1] than with snapshots. In this particular case, no, the gnulib-20110216-stable.tar.gz release contained the bug. A better quality could IMO only be achieved through periodic builds on multiple platforms. Simon collects build reports for gnulib [2], but not many machines are participating so far.
