Absolutely, a minor change to Julia base broke the CSV package for weeks. But that's like 1 of hundreds of examples. I don't think non package developers realize how much effort package maintainers and drive-by contributors do to keep that language alive.

Would you happen to remember the specific version, or links to any of the other examples? I ask because I've repeatedly heard that every release is tested against the entirety of the (public) package ecosystem, so I'm curious how these snuck through - whether it was before such a system was put in place (maybe because of these breakages), or whether things still sneak through the tests to such a degree.

I don't remember, maybe check closed issues in their repository. But I think we all know why you're really saying this. To cast doubt on what I'm saying. That's okay, gotta get that $$$ or something.
