If I had to guess, I'd say it's because it wasn't until they analyzed the 
results that they realized the slit was broken, at which point they didn't 
have time to repeat the experiment before the paper publishing deadline.

Me, I'm more surprised that nobody before this had ever *actually* tried it 
with three slits.

I also discover I no longer understand how QM works nearly as much as I 
thought I did. :-)
