Lets just say, in theory, I got on the list. If I was someplace with no mobile reception or had to roam, could I still just get it over wifi? Or does some sort of Verizon verification need to happen on their mobile network? Do get any sort of notice? Or does the update just show up randomly?

In theory, yes, you should still get it. It'll be going to you based on your IMEI number. You could do the "Check For Updates" and it should show up. Or you could wake up in the morning and get an announcement that there is a update available. Just like an OTA update.

That being said, there seems to be a few that'll get the announcement even though they aren't on the list.

Or a few that aren't even members of Moto's support forum that will get it... seems like that happens every time as well!

Well, I have a bad feeling, I'm in Vancouver right now. Still on Verizon SIM, but roaming. When I go to 'About Phone', 'System Updates' is greyed out, I can't check for updates. So if that's not part of the soak process I may be screwed. I've been thinking of making a shopping run over the boarder, so this may encourage that.

I'm curious if anybody has received anything beyond the survey email yet? Hopefully they move forward with the whole thing very quickly...

I havent got an email yet. I have been part of every bionic soak test so far but last time it happened when I was on vacation and I received the update when I went down the mountain but wasn't able to let them know any info, so who knows if I get invited back.
