So the transaction malleability problem was created in 2010 and reported in 2011.
No.

Transactions have always been malleable prior to being included in a block. This wasn't really apparent until 2011.

There's nothing wrong with txid, the only problem is inaccurately assuming that it's immutable, and especially not noticing when changes to the blockchain affect your balance in ways you weren't expecting.
