It sounded to me like the article was complaining about the possibility of writing an iPhone application using a JVM style kernel or interpreter. We do know that part of the multitasking model allows the application to specify a thread that continues to run after the rest of the application shuts down--and if you're emulating threading in a JVM style kernel, there is no way for the iPhone OS to do anything with that.

But I agree; it raised more questions than it answered, and it'll be worth to see how things shake out.
