No, as far as the star dev goes, he's done with the project and has moved onto the next one. He's far to valuable to the company to be fixing bugs. The buggy code is already in production because he promised it was done. The fact that others have to fix the problems implies that the star dev is done.

I wrote about a specific problem, not a generalization that all fast phased development is bad. Also, nothing in my story implies that I'm justifying overanalysing.

I've seen cases that if code is not ready by Monday then the company goes bust. The code is shipped riddled with bugs. Totally justified in that case.
