I call this slander and libering! I also prefer the term, "load of dung!" And if any of this is true, I have changed my thoughts on at&t. Its death star image will crumble if this is true. And, my company will pay for it too!! ( any smartphone $199 or under is apyed for my employer if it is a phone for the employee.)
To me, this sounds as if AT&T and Apple realized that people will find way to unlock the iPhone anyway, so they need to find another reasons (like a $200 discount) to make people sign if for two year contract.
Why shenanigans? It wouldn't be that unusual to get a SUBSIDIZED 3G iPhone for 2 Hundie in exchange for a 3 year contract (yea, I said it! 3 years). Probably makes good business sense since (it kills that pesky unlocking problem and we the users walk away with a crazy BARGAIN)!!
