Unfortunately appears to be some of both. Reinforcing the CF door with
electrical tape seem to be common. Questionable 24-105 lenses with the
kit appear prevalent and one 5D11 even shipped with a missing light
shield plate---and that was this person's 3rd try! (FM) The Mike
Grouse-o-meter (pat. pend.) detects disturbing activity. Though the
numerator is undoubtedly large for problems, the denominator is
unknown.
The MR Antarctica trip provides a clue as to incidence. So does one
just order form B&H and cross your fingers, wait a bit until they have
another production run?
Less grouse-o-meter activity with the D700 or D3 or A900. CZ lenses in
Sony mount seem to get little QA criticism, though some reports of
trouble with bad apples in the other mounts.

Sounds more like design deficiencies than QA problems.
