I convinced my girlfriend over the weekend to use Signal/TextSecure instead of WhatsApp over concerns like this. From reading the article, it sounded like it COULD have been a failure to implement the TextSecure spec properly, but the article was not conclusive. I would be very curious if someone made that determination if it was a weakness in the spec or a failed implementation.
