Whether unterminated wires were problematic would be
dependent on the circumstances. On a new plane, I wouldn't be
surprised to find wires with unstripped ends, tied off to the side
awaiting some as-yet un-purchased option.
Now if the loose ends (literally) were stripped and showed
signs of having been previously connected to something - that
could be worrisome.

Agreed, very troubling for the RV-10 community that suffered this and
2 weather related fatals in the same year. I don't see any facts in
the report relating to the electronic ignition for the Subaru engine,
and its power source, but it certainly makes one wonder if the crash
was initiated by loss of electrons to fire plugs and produce power,
followed by power off attempt at landing that unfortunately was not
successful. The mention of numerous unterminated wires does lead to
head scratching.
