Not necessarily. Anyone who does any coding at most levels would most likely prefer a bug free, (as much as humanly possible), version. There are more and more site admins actually taking to the coding side of things these days, (either through necessity or pure choice), so that they can modify their boards themselves. They are more likely to appreciate a solid system rather than the all singing all dancing version, especially if mods/plugins follow to add the extra functionality.
In my opinion, the system would be far more appealing if the base system had less in it and the additions were punted into plugins instead. A smaller core but with the additional functionality available if required.
The you have the development side of things. If there is a Dev team who is going to take all bug reports seriously, no matter how minor the issue may seem, that would also be another plus point.
