Am I the only one who thinks that describing this as a "bug" sounds a bit off? Most bugs don't come with their own updated alert text. It sounds a bit more like they had planned to switch to a different trial method and enabled it earlier than they expected? Or maybe a "rogue" employee added the feature as an experiment and didn't tell anybody?

Possible, but they almost certainly had functionality to automatically convert from a number of seconds to text like “15 minutes” for rendering.
