Edit: I received a message from staska at unwiredview.com and he reiterated that none of the widgets are vertically scrollable. That really sucks for widgets like Facebook, Mauku, RSS, AP news etc.

Is there a technical reason this or is he mistaken?

No dragging actions are allowed on widgets. Horizontal dragging is obviously used to switch between desktops, so couldn't be allowed on widgets (as they didn't want the user to have to hunt for a blank bit of desktop). I think they disabled vertical dragging on wdigets because of possible plans to allow vertical scrolling between desktops in future Maemo releases, so didn't want widgets to start responding to vertical drags in the meantime.
