Bugs in Messenger quite often do not interfear with things in Plus!. Plus! has his own features and stuff which need to be beta-tested.
If something structurally changes in WLM (which is always possible since it is still in beta), then Patchou needs to recode some stuff, true, but overall Plus! isn't going to be malfunctionning because of a bug in WLM.
Also, Plus! will never be released before the final "bugfree" version of WLM is released, exactly because some things always could change during a beta period.
The reason why there is a longer beta-period for Messenger Plus! too is mostly because it is totally recoded from scratch this time and because the totally new structure used in WLM. Thus not so much because WLM has a bigger beta period; if Plus! wasn't recoded from scratch, the Plus! beta period would could have been shorter (because not that many stuff would need to be tested, that much).
