It's a smokescreen. If you were running a version of OpenSSL that supported the HEARTBEAT extension (patched or not) it's easy enough to determine whether or not it was vulnerable, simply by running the exploit code. Any theoretical discussion of how your patch made it invulnerable is pure speculation. They can release packet captures that prove they were invulnerable without releasing any code at all. At this stage, it's all PR.
