My guess is that we will see a web or ftp server appear shortly with the code.
No. Verizon will just announce that the firmware is in a "beta test" stage and that the source will be released when it's done. No one says they have to finish.

Or they can encrypt relevant bits of the source they don't want to release. VPinMAME gets away with that one.

Wrong on both counts. A.) They distribute the router, whether they consider it "done" or not is irrelevant, they need to comply with BusyBox's terms because they have distributed it. B.) All code must be in legible, as-it-was-developed form.

Both of these are spelled out quite explicitly in the GPL license.
