If you deploy a "test" version of an app to a public server/domain and send an invite to a closed mailing list for users to beta test it, then that still triggers the AGPL.

You are absolutely correct. As far as I'm aware they never sent any invites though.

edit: Only the users of the AGPL service are owed the code, it doesn't need to be posted publicly.
