I personally think both opinions could be somewhat correct in that it was painted later and the person doing so did not possess the skill to do a very good job. I doubt it was a lack of care though, if you posses the skill to do paint well it doesn't take very much more effort for do a good job verses a bad one.
Bi3mw shared a manuscript that contains this image the other day, which may just be one of my favourite images I have seen in a piece from the time. Someone capable of this isn't going to do what we see in the VM even if they couldn't care less... drunk and had both hands tied..
I guess my opinion is that the artist didn't set out to make a "workhorse", they were just not very good. I guess you could argue they didn't hire someone better to do a better job, but yeah, on the artists part it is a lack of ability over care in my eyes.
