1) They tried fixing the boat-drop bug, and the servers with extended maintainance got the update.
2) Their fix failed horribly, helping lead to the problems of the past week on said maintainanced servers.
I've seen companies try to fix issues and end up making it worse, but Blizzard hasn't been one of those companies (I'm ignoring balance here). They must really be under stress trying to work on this if they're slipping in QA when it comes to stability.

What I guess is this:
The servers which had extended maintenance had parallel servers added. One of the problems with this new configuration is this boat trip. Makes me think that perhaps one of the server divisions is per continent. This being the most frequently traveled boat route (is it? I don't really know) they axed it temporarily while they try to work things out.
