I don't think they ever care about whether your extension has bug or not. They probably only review whether your extension has weird minified code or dependencies.

It was a bug that prevented building it. If they just look at the source code without building it, they’ll have no idea if it’s the same code at all, and it would be useless.

That's weird. Probably it depends on reviewer? Or probably the reviewer figured out how to compile your source some way? In my experience, the reproducible requirement is always forced.

See my other comment [0], manual reviews have been optional for a long time. There was quite the outcry when they stopped reviewing everything.
