Something about a key checker lock and messing around with the loader will brick it? I guess time will tell.
The OMAP4 family of CPUs can be locked (the NookTablet with an OMAP4430 was bootloader locked), but the XDA folks found a way around. I would expect that, if the KF is locked, a way around will be found.

Also, although Amazon spoke about the virtues of the OMAP4470 SoC, only the 8.9" come with that one, the 7" comes with OMAP4460, the same you have on the Galaxy Nexus.
