Like some interesting nuggets have come to light since my last post.
It seems that many of the guns in question were purchased bought using funds supplied by the ATF, and a letter from the ATF District office instructing the dealer to waive the standard background check and permit requirement.

This is looking less and less like incompetence and more like outright double dealing on the part of the ATF's distict office.
