Possible, and harmful enough to make up for its low probability? I think so.
I assume it would be even sufficient for Apple to simply announce such a thing in time to their fanboys and release that locked-down crap significantly later than Nokia's next tablet.
The loyal fanboys would spread the news like a wildfire. I can understand why Nokia is very careful with releasing information and specs.
