I'm sorry that your experience with the AGC has been so negative. The simple fact is that if a gallery can't put a show on that will be successful, and/or risks mounting a show that will make the artwork look bad, then the right thing to do is cancel it or reschedule it.
If it had gone ahead, it would have been a fiasco, and some of the problems you listed such as damaged artwork, etc. would certainly have happened and people such as yourself would be justified in raising the alarm bells.
Think about it like an airplane flight being canceled because their is engine trouble. I'd much rather have a flight delayed and make it safely to my destination than have the mechanics throw some duct tape on it and die in an accident.
