How much are you paying?  :-)

But, seriously, not all maintainers have access to all platforms, which 
slows the ability to test updates.

And not all maintainers are experts in the innards of the packages they 
maintain.  When errors are due to sloppy declarations and the like in 
the source files, it can take a bit of tracking down to fix them 
properly, in my experience.

Personally, I didn't reply because I was busy--I do see the same thing 
with 10.9/Xcode 5.1 but I don't really know how to fix it.
