Is there more to this story than in the article?

Because I don't see anything "revealing" about that situation, other than that DDG suffered from Bings error, as they use Bing's results. What did this incident reveal specifically about DDG?

I'd say it's revealing how closely they are tied to the censorship that Microsoft employs.

Might have been obvious to those who knew where they got their index from, but it was certainly highlighted by that event.
