Update: Got a response from AT&T, No Dice:

Hi there – we aren’t making changes to our upgrade policy.

You can check eligibility online or on the new AT&T Upgrader App, out
soon. This makes upgrading to iPhone easier and faster than ever before.
And, let’s you preorder right from your handset starting Friday, October
7. Later today, existing iPhone customers can download the app from the
App Store and our other customers can visit www.att.com/phoneupgrade.
There’s no need to visit our stores – let the app do the work for you -
upgrade and preorder right from your phone. The app tells you if you’re
upgrade eligible for iPhone 4S – and – beginning Friday, helps you place
your preorder.
