Joe, I think you are mostly spot on with your assessment. Here is the meat that still rings out. It was not that it was fully functional or not here is what he said.
From RG first review article
There is one cause for concern, however, and it\'s one to pay close attention to if you\'re planning on buying an EOS-1D Mark III as soon as it ships. In the preproduction body we have, the autofocus doesn\'t work right. When it was issued to us, Canon made it clear that the autofocus wasn\'t working right in this generation of preproduction camera and/or firmware and provided the assurances you\'d expect about how it will be working properly by the time the new model hits the streets. And that\'s likely to be the case. But it\'s not guaranteed to be the case, so please keep that in mind before you hand over your VISA card to your pro camera dealer.
So I am sure Dev or Eng said we could fix it if there is a problem down the line and did continue to ship them out.
Glad you found that RG text ... and yes, it was exactly what I was referring to but unfortunately couldn\'t remember the exact wording.
