And to answer your second question about if this is a worry for an OEM project; this is a worry about the fact that a lot of newer hardware will potentially ship with version of Ubuntu that 3D isn't supported yet properly, but the OS that it ships on will have been generated at a much earlier date. An addon package to set the default to UDE will likely be added, but if the customer launches into UNE, the box shouldn't break.
Consider this scenario:
1) The customer receives the box with UDE on by default
2) During OOBE they set it up to automatically login
3) They read online and see these awesome pictures of unity in UNE and want to try it for themselves
4) They realize it's already available "on" their box, and go into login settings and set it.
5) They reboot, and it automatically logs in to just the wallpaper.
Their machine appears bricked, and they don't have a way to get out of the scenario other than switching VT's and some command line hackery.
