I've known quite a few Apple employees as well, and none of them have ever described anything remotely close to this.

(Admittedly, this evidence is only anecdotal, but it's still data.)

Put one more ex-Appelian into that anecdotal bin...

Now, admittedly, I was there just as Steve was coming back ('96-'99), and I was working in an environment that was relatively shielded from product development, and I was at Austin TX and Sacramento CA, not 1 Infinite. But, I never saw or heard of this sort of behavior. And I was privy to pre-release info on products (I was responsible for supporting the damn things after all).

A lot could have changed since my days, but it does kinda have the smell of over hyped BS to me.

That said, I did my time at the fruit co. I tend to never say never (it is a long time, after all), but it will be a surprising day indeed if I ever get another paystub from them. Not in the least because they have no presence whatsoever in NZ...
