This has now been confirmed by an Intel insider and a Sony insider on AVSFORUM agreed with him. The first few BD players apparently supported BD-R to assist with getting content working but newer players no longer support it because it is no longer necessary.

For these new players, the only BDMV-authored blanks that will play are AACS-approved blanks which do not exist at this point in time. Probably will have some limitations on your burner and the content being burned if you insert said type of blank into your BD-R drive.

So, in short, small content providers who produce on BD-R are BD-screwed for now.
