I place the odds at 55%

If we all remember back to when MegamanExe4 was spying on Xur's brain, he contended that there were two Xurs - the predetermined one (that was basically on autopilot and that he could predict), and another version that Bungie could swap in by flipping a switch in order to manually set his inventory. Supposedly there was one time that it appeared clear that Bungie had done that (I can't remember the particular occasion, but I'm sure someone around here does). My theory is that Bungie decided to swap in the manual Xur today to sell Gjallarhorn so we would all be happy (and stop bitching about all the nerfs for a few days) and so everyone could have a chance to see its glory before it gets [let's be honest - only slightly] nerfed. Unfortunately, something went slightly wrong, but we'll be able to buy Gjallys by lunchtime!

Yes, the second Xur sold Red Death last time, and Gjallarhorn isn't in his loot table. It's possible that the bug is caused by them inserting that item into his loot table. However, I don't think that they will be selling that gun. I'd be astonished, in fact.

However, if they do, I'll buy another one.

EDIT: If they cannot fix the bug, they may replace him with a new Xur and change his inventory. If he has something you want, you better buy it.
