First of all, the Kel-Tec design wasn't frequently castigated as being flawed, the complaints I've seen on the Kel-Tec guns relate to QA/manufacturing issues, not design problems. Taking a decent design and improving it is a reasonable (if not particularly innovative) approach.
Second, we don't know if it's made from the same materials, if it's made with the same manufacturing techniques, we don't even know for sure who's doing the actual manufacturing, and we don't know the effect of the design changes (besides the obviously positive change of adding a slide lock).
Passing judgement (on anything other than Ruger's new theory of "innovation") at this point is premature.
