Update - Ensidia just posted a statement on their site.
Yes it seems this bug does relate to our kill. We had no idea that our Rogues using Saronite Bombs in their rotation (as they always do) was causing it and thusly it occured every try we did. Short version, we're not going to stop trying the boss when all we are doing is playing our normal game. It would be nice if these kinds of things, much the same as Holy Wrath on Anub, were tested before release.
It does make the fight easier, but we are 100% sure it would have died either way. It only affects one of the easier phases.
As a side note this only occured in 25 man.
Update - It seems that a bug just got hotfixed on live servers, at this point I'm not sure yet if it is related to Ensidia's kill or not.

We just made a hotfix that disables the siege damage dealt by Saronite Bombs and the Global Thermal Sapper Charge. The siege damage of the bombs was causing the Frozen Throne platform to rebuild, which greatly decreases the difficulty of the encounter.
We'll reenable the siege damage in a later update when the issue with the Frozen Throne is fixed.
Lich King World First Kill by Ensidia
A couple of minutes ago, Ensidia (http://www.ensidia.com) became the first guild to defeat the Lich King in 25-Man mode. They are the first guild to unlock the hard modes in Icecrown Citadel-25 and the real challenge will start next week for them and probably a few other guilds. Congratulations to them!

Reminder - The Lich King Loot Table
It took a little longer than intended to get all the screenshots done but here it is, the final loot table for the Lich King encounter! One interesting change with this patch, Heroic items have yellow text and normal items don't.
