Well, after a long period of radio silence, I can confirm "Sheila Parker" is alive. I just got a response for my bug report a few days ago. Apparently, to avoid the lag/bugs they had for the last 21 day event, they pushed the update from Stage 1 to Stage 2 a few minutes early this time around. I made the mistake of waiting to open my last Infernal Coffer to the last minute--while I was sitting on 23 duplicates of the artifact--and the coffer bugged out while I was picking my fifth or sixth card.

Naturally, I refreshed to see if that would fix the coffer. This was another mistake--I ended up with Stage II half loaded, but the daily tournament still in progress, and somehow doing this prevented me from getting any reward at all for that last day. Bug reports submitted, zero response--as has been the norm for the past few weeks--but today, a miracle.

Well, not really a miracle. I got a response, which at this point was a bit of a surprise, and I got a few hundred gems, but I still feel pretty screwed. I finish just barely in the Top 20 every day. If I spend all the gems I got in a single day, it might be enough for me to get Top 3 instead, but this is doubtful. I am trying to convince Ms. Parker that the gems aren't even adequate compensation for the missing Infernal Pumpkins, let alone all of that wasted effort for the four-star Hell Fire artifact. We'll see how it goes, but at least it's better than complete silence. Hope you all get some attention to your stuff as well.

With my rant over, a bit of advice--be really careful what you're doing in the last couple of minutes of the day when we transition to Stage III. I definitely won't be saving any coffers to the end for the sake of suspense anymore, but my bigger worry is if people are still jockeying for position at the end and refreshing to skip the battle animations.
