The note says....
"If you have already installed a system using a 3.1r0 CD/DVD image, you
do not need to reinstall. Instead, simply edit /etc/apt/sources.list,
look for any lines mentioning security.debian.org, change "testing" to
"stable", and remove "# " from the start of the line."
So I wouldn't consider this much of a bug and it can be easily
corrected.

Note: 3.1r0 CD image problem
A bug has been discovered in the 3.1r0 CD/DVD images: new installs from
these images will have a commented-out entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
for "http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates" rather than an active
entry for "http://security.debian.org/stable/updates", and thus will not
get security updates by default. This was due to incorrect Release files
on the images.
If you have already installed a system using a 3.1r0 CD/DVD image, you
do not need to reinstall. Instead, simply edit /etc/apt/sources.list,
look for any lines mentioning security.debian.org, change "testing" to
"stable", and remove "# " from the start of the line.
If you installed other than from a CD or DVD (for example, netboot, or
booting from floppy and installing the base system from the network),
you are not affected by this bug.
New 3.1r0a images will be available shortly to correct this flaw. We
apologise for the inconvenience.
So just how many of the original discs need to be replaced? I'd think only
the first one, and special CDs like the business card and net install ones,
but would any but the first of all 14 be effected?
