"this works out of the box" seems a bit of an odd thing to say when it's not working for significant edge cases.

Maybe "it worked when we first tested it" is better? :-)

I dunno, in my experience anything that "works right out of the box" usually misses a bunch of edge cases (possibly necessarily/by definition). The description seems apt to me.
