I won't speak for Quim, but I did finally meet with him in person today and I know he is passionate about the tablet software... as are his colleagues. I wish I could explain the lack of feedback but suffice to say you are witnessing the residue of "old Nokia" BUT there are many brave souls in the company trying to change the communications status quo (where it makes sense and within their own policy constraints, of course).

I think the idea of a user field test with a select set of cards is an excellent one. I cannot say if that is practical however, even though it makes sense from a problem analysis standpoint. Rest assured though that if this issue "grows legs" (and it appears to be) then it will HAVE to be addressed. The future of the tablets necessitates significant storage capability.

EDIT: I will reproduce Quim's bug comment here--

We are doing internal testing in order to determine the cause of this issue and provide a solution. There is no a conclusion so far. We acknowledge that some users are getting in trouble with some cards but in the meantime we have done intensive testing on cards and processes that haven't caused or suffered any problem.

Please keep reporting at http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204 any details about affected cards: the specific type of card affected and the processes you were doing when you encountered the problem and before. These details are more than helpful to define the problem and fix it.

We will communicate here and in the bug report any progress.
Ok, not as closed and fatalistic as some suggest. Just the opposite in fact. Bear in mind his last statement: lack of further communication at this point would imply lack of progress. It is up to us to continue offering context for the issue.
