And IIRC it used some old OSX binaries to do so? Just terminating the access might be a lucky outcome if that's the case, considring the money involved.

Have you got a source on that? As far as I know, there's no workaround possible because the authentication blob is based on the UDID/serial. Put differently: without UDID/serial, there's no way of authenticating with the message servers.
Beeper keeps referring to pypush when it comes to details in their write-up[0], and pypush, in turn, clearly states[1] the need for information like serial and UDID when dealing with the albert server and IDS registration request.
As a “workaround,” they simply stuff fake serials, etc., and cross their fingers that it gets through Apple’s scoring mechanism.
