Good point. How is this light powered? I think it is just about possible there is room for a AAA on the back which might explain the incline. Of course, there is lots of room for a watch-type battery. If this were the case, then Sony have finally lost their minds.

This might imply the light is CLIPPED onto the back, either detachable or non-detachable with the case. The other thing is, we don't know what the back of the light clip is, b/c that will tell wether this IS a lighted case or acutally a case with a light clip.

Yes, I think it's detachable. That's a good touch if it means the light comes with the standard case AND the case is competitively priced. Of course, the light will be a separate unit and easily lost and difficult to carry. Over all, not a good idea compared to an incorporated light.

SONY, WHY DONT YOU JUST SHOW US THE BACK OF THAT PRS-T3 LIGHT CASE?

I think you're reading too much into it there. It's just a detachable light as part of the standard case. Sony aren't hiding anything amazing in the back of the case beyond what you have surmised.
If Sony can incorporate a light into the case that 1) runs off the e-reader battery and 2) can be kept with the e-reader at all times (i.e. is not a detachable light) and 3) does not bulk out the case, then it's an interesting alternative to the current front-lit devices. The light itself will probably be superior to a front-light. However, I don't see how they could have done all this. I predict epic fail. Cyer Sony.
