Bug in iPad: 1,000,000 million hits on Google with 1,000 solutions
I call myth. That's only true when you happen to hit a bug that apple was generous enough to fix. Otherwise you're not only on your own but usually you can't do anything about it.
How do I know about it? Because I'm affected and it forces me to reboot my snow leopard every once in a while. And going by the number of reports I gather it's not just me. The related apple forum thread has hundreds of posts...
Bug in any of the other Nix tablets: 12 hits, all of them from people like me asking for solutions
That really depends on how popular your device is and how obscure a bug you hit. If the tablet is running linux then most bugs will likely be in software components that are also used on other hardware with a much larger userbase. And most OSS projects, at least those surrounding the kernel, have quite active communities, with mailing lists and open bug trackers.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that there are reasons to go for the iPad over other tablets - but this is not one of them.

There are plenty of examples, like this gem, which is afaik still unfixed (after 6 months or something): http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10365239-263.html
