Usual reason for mistakes like this is: someone was debugging something then (partially) forgot to clean up before committing.

Once that is done it's incredibly easy for these kind of bugs to go un-noticed for a long time.

Assuming you don't have a test for it, sure. And don't fuzz everything on a regular basis.
