"Linux users are a small minority, but I suspect they have well above average influence in what IT services are purchased."

Not really. If you're deciding on a vendor for a bunch of Windows users, you would test it on windows.

They were deciding on a vendor for a bunch of browser users, not windows users.

Usually the best test for a vendor claim, that their solution is HTML/standards based and works "everywhere" is to test it on some minority platform.

When you find bugs, you can always use them in negotiation.
