One thing confuses me. It's a 645D - yet the sensor size means that it's
really a 433D or thereabouts. So existing 645 lenses will be crippled by
the same 1.5x crop factor that the K-7 and it's earlier siblings have?

Perhaps it's more of a 1.2x crop factor over 645 film. The new D-FA 55mm matches a 43.5mm lens in 35mm format, or a 65mm on 645 film.

So a serious landscape photographer who had what once was a fabulous
wide angle on his film Pentax 645 will now have a fabulous not-so-wide
and have to buy an even wider lens to compensate if he/she wants more of
the same?

Yes, but not as much as it happens with FF vs. APS.
