From the article, Heroku says, "The problem affected an older version of Heroku’s service, he said, and those who use a new version of the service would not have these issues."

As far as I understand that is not really the case. The newer version is the Cedar stack which supports concurrent apps where Bamboo only supports non-concurrent apps. This would reduce the problem with random routing, but not eliminate it.

The problem is not that they provide random routing, the problem is they said in their documentation that they provided intelligent routing, a design choice they backed off of when they switched stacks.

Customers still have a problem, but Heroku doesn't from a legal / class action-y perspective.
