OK, as luck has it we received a shipment of 16 copies Friday and they were lined up waiting for testing.
15 of 16 locked in reverse position, one did not
10 of 16 locked in using position, 6 did not. One of the locking ones was 'just barely', it caught but not completely and you could take it off without pushing the botton, although it took a little force, like what Viramati described above.
Examining the mounting rings on the lens I can't see any explanation, so I expect it's a slight misalignment of the hood latch system. The latches seem to be working, just out of position to catch the locking indentation on the lens.

With a 40% defect rate on manufacturing items as basic as this (lens hoods), along with the pretty high variation that you saw in your test samples, I wonder if it makes sense to put off my order for a few months until, perhaps, Sony has a better handle on these QC issues.
