Not entirely true. If you have a SIM from T-Mobile, it's not like you do anything special on your iPhone to associate it with their brand of service. You just pop the SIM in after you've unlocked it, and you don't need to activate it with ATT or otherwise via iTunes or anything like that prior to the unlock. Stuff like iActivator and iNdependence will also spoof activation for you.
I'm fairly confident this threat is merely a scare tactic. I'll just restore the iPod to 'factory' settings and upload a pristine version of the 1.0.2 firmware before flashing.
