I don't see any problem with that either (without reading
any FAQ..) because afaik, the purpose of GSoC is to help
projects expand, so saying that you can't work on it if
google refuses an application is contrary to the idea of
helping a project grow... Also, Google is merely helping by
funding the students to work on this but that doesn't mean
that a person can't help if he wants to, if it were true,
then that would mean that all open source software who
participate in GSoC would stop working once GSoC finishes?? 
I think (hope) you get my point (I'm bad with words...)
