Trying to install a dev-build of adblock plus results in a corrupted warning.
https://adblockplus.org/en/development-builds#installation
The problem is that those adblock builds are signed, just not with a Mozilla certificate. Adblock have been signing their builds with their own certificate for a while. I'm not sure if we have an easy way to detect the difference between the two right now.

Does their signing make it a verified add-on? Or do they still count as unverified?

It should still be unverified.
