I took it as yet another veiled criticism of the original books, although I'll admit I don't offhand remember any transfiguration mistakes in Order of the Phoenix.
I only read the last book (or two). Maybe you're right, but I took it as an expression of frustration with well-meaning but net-harmful people in some area of Eliezer's interest.
Looks definitely like a real-world reference to me though.
