Testing on a production system? Interesting concept.

Yes. Very "interesting".

Why they just don't ask some users to be the beta testers? If they offer something like: "We are looking for users who will help us to improve our great system and test new features. The testers will receive x% discount for their AdWords campaigns."

I am sure that many users will be intersted in, the costs will be very low and Google will not look like amateurs that are testing on a production system.
