I'm not surprised. After serving as a maintainer of both the main perl client side api (http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Facebook-API) and one production application I have to say the Facebook platform sucked[1] for its instability, lack of regression testing, lack of roadmap for new feature or fixes for major bugs and lack of a testing framework for client apis.

Now, this was 2 and 3 years ago they may have cleaned up the mess since but I don't think so after poking my head in a time of two over the last few months.

[1] It sucked to worked with but was an undeniable success for them and those that we able to dedicate the resources to keep up to the constant churn and downtime
