I think problem lies in quantity - it's ok, to buy one FR without a case, but when you set some kind of mass production - it going to be pain in the ass - you have to add costs of disassembling, costs of selling it (ebay fee for example), someone has to do the selling instead of working on something more usefull, etc.
I think the only way to know it is to wait for the answer from openmoko inc itself.
