I doubt even in Japan the majority of people would go and hunt down spoilers like that. It's airing on TV there, so you would think they would just watch it on TV or if they don't have the channel, then download the raw of the ep. There seems to be a few people here who spoil themselves with blogs every time before watching an ep, but I refuse to believe that's a majority rule. So, in short, it would be strange to change an ep because of minority actions.
Maybe the studio "leaked" the information about the episode being altered so that even those who spoiled themselves would all watch it nonetheless just to see if it was altered. Although considering how HC they are, they would have watched it anyway, no doubt.
This is honestly like some underhand publicity stunt.
