Is that an issue that would require double the effort to resolve if
there was more than one developer phone available? Or would the
solution on the ADP1 also solve the problem on the ADP2?

The handset cost is not the real issue here - it's more about having a
variety of handsets available for developers, as well as the various
marketing and promotional activities that might be undertaken by a
firm developing with Android. Amongst other things, some people have
commented on the G1's physical appearance, and the G1 has battery life
issues.
Thanks for the heads-up about FreeRunner, I had not seen that phone,
although I notice they don't offer quad band.
