The odds that B&N over promised are about even with OEMs not wanting to support it. Hard to say what licensing terms it is even wrapped up in.

Yes, sorry! I did mean T1. And thanks for posting your results on what happens when you try to download a B&N ePub.
Incidentally, B&N DRM is a form of Adobe DRM, not some proprietary DRM that B&N cooked up by itself. It's a newer, alternative Adobe DRM that opens with a username + password instead of requiring ADE as a go-between.
ADE Preview 1.8 opens both this new form of Adobe DRM (that B&N uses) and the traditional Adobe DRM (that requires ADE as a go-between). Any other reader or app that uses the latest Adobe RMSDK software is also able to open B&N ebooks. I know Bluefire Reader (for iOS) and the new Etaco jetBook Lite use the latest Adobe RMSDK and can open B&N ebooks, and others on MobileRead have posted that the new Kobo Touch, Bebook Neo, and Onyx Boox can also open B&N ebooks.
If the T1 doesn't open B&N ebooks, that suggests Sony is still using old Adobe RMSDK, or they modified the latest Adobe RMSDK to block out the form of Adobe DRM that B&N uses, or they are otherwise limiting or not fully using Adobe RMSDK in some way. Whatever the case may be, I find that disappointing.
Here's Adobe's announcement about their collaboration with B&N:
