Lol the verdict is It's fixed it but didnt know because I was looking at a cached response and expecting to see the changes from my code reflecting in it. I have put full level logging on the system so if something like this happens again i'll know in 10 minutes unless I am sleeping. The only time it will be come tricky is in this exact case - where steemit is now caching the error but even that can be worked around by adding a query string parameter to the end of the url i.e. http://steempixel.com/@user/broken-link-address?revised. The revised will drop off into a different object.
