You might be right, but:
  • His global scope control variable is nil. As far as we (and the author) can see, there isn't a typo.
  • The XML is loaded after the lua
  • The lua binds to ADD_ON_LOADED before the xml file is loaded
  • The stacktrace shows his bound function being called first (presumably by the event triggering)

If I'm right, then it likely does affect all addons, but authors already have functional workarounds so we don't really notice it.

Edit: Also the track record for bug fixes in ESO isn't exactly stellar
Edit2: Also he maybe has the wrong xml file name in his .txt so the control is never loaded in the first place.
