I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentionally put in, but I think its important to clarify that the encryption itself wasn't broken, and with this exploit specifically the drive also has to remain inside the original PC/TPM. It's a boot authentication bypass, not an encryption break.

As far as we know, having TPM+Pin or TPM+Startup Key breaks the exploit. TPM only was always known to be basically ineffective against threats like laptop theft, TPM only would only protect you if the drive was stolen out of the machine, which in that case, this exploit also would not work.
