I just assumed that like the rest of the coding and updating that something was broken and that a new example would be coming out soon.
The vision example is obviously broken with respect to the Watchdog usage. It clearly enables the watchdog, sets expiration to some time (let's say t seconds, since I don't have it in front of me) and then proceeds to sleep significantly longer than that expiration (t + x).
You will always get a watchdog not fed at the start of this example if left unmodified.

I do understand your frustration with the quality of the examples.
