The issue is that Apple's security engineers must have realized that there was a good chance someone would reverse engineer the patch, and from there find out the OS X is also vulnerable.

The patch doesn't need to be reverse engineered to discover that - the documentation alone and a quick test is enough.

The unknown factor which makes rlu's comment so ignorant, is that we don't know whether the vulnerability is already known and being exploited.

If so, then not delaying the iOS patch is the correct call.
