Unfortunately this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People get irritated because Nokians generally refuses to interact with us, so more Nokians will refuse to interact with us, so people get more irritated, etc.

Once again, broken process. Broken process. Broken process.

It's not our fault if the way management has set things up puts you in between a rock and a hard place. Obviously that needs to be fixed, but you can't blame the current situation on us. Nokia has a pretty clear track record of not getting how to handle an open source community (see the Bugzilla Fiasco that's been ongoing since 2005) and the irritation you see here is simply a side-effect of that. Treat people with respect and you get respect in return. It's a two-way street.
