Sorry for answering my own question, but I hope it's interesting.

I think I figured it out. If naif's question about Facebook using the
Tor2web mode is to be answered positively, then you are both cheating
on the onion routing. Both Tor2web and Facebook skip the relay hops on
the way to the rendez-vous point - thus there would only be the
rendezvous point as a relay between tor2web and the Facebook backbone
which can be considered rather bad for anonymity.
Did I get that right?
