A pic on WRC Rally Fans FB page shows damage to the rear of Meeke's Citroen. Also there is a pic from Latvala's test showing that he has already christened the Toyota! (though rear damage is not as bad as Meeke's)
This ? Its been posted here already.

Not defending Toyota or anyone else.
Just when you have few runs on video it's hard to judge about general performance of the car.
Usually things like slight oversteering are very easy solvable with tiny setup changes (or little more deeply with LSD changes, damper shimming, etc). So those things might be misleading. If we don't know the general plan of tests, on what they work, what is the idea of particular tests it's hard to make 100% statements. It might be early state of working on setup for such road, might be checking some settings to see how car reacts, might be some work on diffs or alignment, or working on cambers to suit the tires, etc.
Especialy tires management might be an important factor this season with those new cars creating more downforce - higher corner speeds, etc. Loix was recently testing new tires using old 2l WRC Citroen, so no doubt that's still work in progress.
