That's so lame if true....
It's so bizarre that they'd want to deliberately limit the availability of the N9, just to smooth the way for the searay.
It needn't be done that way at all....
To me it makes horrid business sense when you consider all the money/time that's gone into Maemo/Meego/N900/N9 over the years.

This story shows it's at least been tested by vodafone, & on a recent build

On a brighter note my mate at Vodafone did say that Nokia are releasing a Tablet next year Q1 which in the reps own words "will be different to anything else on the market" something will apparently be announced middle of next month August.
Ah so that seals it, all this weird "tabco" marketing floating around must be Nokia.
Only Nokia would do such obscure marketing/build-up, announce, & then not release till 4mth+ later.
Stoopid Nokia
