Possibly the process needs a bit of revision. For the Jam spin we tested RCs for both alpha and beta about halfway through the process for both. However a change caused the compose to start failing during the cycle of beta RCs. It was spotted and Brendan fixed it quite quickly, but none of the testing on the spin could pick up that this would happen and we only spotted it by luck basically. Either outcome if it had been missed would have been unfortunate: either passed as okay simply because it was on the test wall or dropped because no-one who could do anything about it knew it wasn't composing. It seems the design spin on the other hand got unlucky.
I thoroughly run every TC of Design Suite using both Virtualizer and USB. For the rare time, it was really boring with successful composing, I was about to declare ready but timely announcement occurred before I got the chance to update the status. I will adopt your approach to avoid such confusion in a near future.
