Apple did this on purpose
This conspiracy theory I'm about to present is really no different than those Mac zealots who believe MS purposefully places bugs in XP to convince people to upgrade to Vista. Here goes:

We now see the rationale behind the "Apple will brick unlocked iPhones". The timing is simply too close to be coincidental. First, release an incredibly insecure product with holes everywhere, including remotely executable vulnerabilities, YIKES!! Then tell people not to update their phones with these CRITICAL security patches if they've unlocked the iPhone. People are now left with the knowledge that if they try to take $1 out of Apple's coffers (remember, Apple gets a huge kickback from AT&T for every phone registered), Apple will bite back and leave you with 2 choices:
1. Use a phone that will get hacked.
2. Throw your phone in the garbage and buy a new one. CHA-CHING!!! That's the sound of Apple profiting from the deliberate inclusion of security holes within the iPhone.

Snicker, smirk happy
