Or why do you think it is specific to device-builds? I haven't had anything to do with ICS so far, in terms of use or looking at what's changed.
Here is a thread with similar discussion over secure app displays: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/60365f9a1d03ba2c/2e5f967fcb8897b4?show_docid=2e5f967fcb8897b4 There is a reasonable looking solution near the end if you have full access to your device and want to modify the program. It looked like google's posistion was that it is not a security concern since the thumbs cannot be accessed if your device is locked. Also, Google employees only make rare appearences on this list, suggesting this may not be the place if google is who you are trying to inform.
