If anyone has been keeping an ear to the ground and an eye on the forums you'll know that the bugs for this game are many and varied. Fortunately Double Fine are a dedicated team of Developers who will patch the game night and day until every little issue is addressed and swiftly patched or removed.
Unfortunately for the modding community and company (CheatHappens) this will mean either a lot of redundant updating or patiently waiting a week or two for the time between updates to even out.
I'm a novice when it comes to knowledge about game debugging but since most games have credits with more personel listed that it takes to produce a major motion picture one would think by the time the game is released in any format it would have been thoroughly tested on all operating sytems.

There are literally tens of thousands of hardware and software configurations out there right now. It would take a team of several hundred to thoroughly test the game on each and every system configuration, and possibly even a few months if not a whole year, while during this time new hardware and software is being released.
The best thing you can do is to try and make your game as compatible as possible with the most popular builds and then wait for people with the more obscure builds to report the problems.
It's one of the biggest concerns Developers have when releasing a game on the PC, just a hand full of game breaking bugs and the community is up in arms ready to lynch the first Developer they see.
Where as with XBOX and PS everyone is using the same hardware and software, which makes it easy to test and to patch.

That being so then I guess from now on I'll leave the autoupdate off since on the majority of the games with many updates I have not experienced any problems before the updates came out.

That is usually the best option to take, as soon as there is a stable update that you're happy with and you intend to use mods or trainers, then turn auto-update off. And then update as the modders / trainers update.
