If they re-used the same X509_STORE_CTX, yes their software depended
on undefined and likely insecure behaviour.  "Worked as expected" is
likely more along the lines of "did not appear to fail".  Verification
is not only expected to succeed for valid chains, but is also expected
to reliably fail for invalid chains.
