It could be argued that judging apps on 1.6 is also against their own
rules:
7. SUBMISSION PERIOD
a. SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES: To qualify for a Prize, an "Entry" to the
Challenge consists of an original application that is written using a
version of the Android Software Development Kit ("SDK") (available at
http://developer.android.com) that validly executes on Android version
1.5.
Not being in the US, I haven't been able to test my entry against 1.6
on an actual device yet, so I don't know if this affects me or not. I
agree that this situation has been poorly managed, but acknowledge
that Google is balancing competing interests here.
IMHO, the best situation would be to allow EVERYONE in Round 2 a
chance to update their apps. While this would obviously violate the
T&C, it's the only way that I can see to keep a level playing field.
It also ignores the effect that 1.6 may have had on Round 1, but the
overlap there was small enough that such effects were probably
minimal.
Having said that, Google has been largely silent to the other
developer concerns about ADC2, so realistically, I don't expect that
there will be any acknowledgement of this one either.
