Yes, this was the glitchiest release I've seen yes, but you've got to keep the big picture in mind to just how much has changed. Not only did they add a new ground texture and roads, they also made two other massive changes simultaneously. Not only can we rush tasks now for free (part of the tasks at least) but they added the snap to feature that makes it so very much easier to find who's on a finished task.
These types of changes affect every single character, building, and decoration. When you're making changes that deep in the coding there's going to be glitches. It was a lot at one time and I'm actually surprised it's not glitchier than it is.
Future updates probably won't bring anything as game changing as what they've done over the past month, so I wouldn't worry too much about it yet.
