I do think that there are other issues, that we are just starting to come up concerning DNA, but they are more false negatives, which is what is preferred in a criminal case. Although my understanding of the process of DNA testing, is that it is not quite as objective as is sometimes thought. See Here
Your argument here is a bit disingenuous since you're linking to a page regarding the difficulties of determining guilt based on DNA mixtures, yet you're applying the arguments from the link to all DNA testing. Yes, there will always be trouble determining guilt when the DNA of three or four (or more, a DNA mixture) people are taken in a swab, but a clean sample compared to a clean specimen is going to be far more accurate than you're trying to depict.
