user5854: On the "burned" example*, do those burnt tokens go back to being available from the reserve and to be rewarded back to circulation or are they locked and lost forever ?
If so, then is it correct to assume that poorly written smart contracts could potentially lock people's assets when a bug is found say... years down the road ?

Yes. This emphasizes the importance of audits of smart contracts before they're used on mainnet.
