Well this is news. Previously it just sounded like there were very understandable issues ramping up part deliveries.
Regardless, if no money is being made building BeagleBones, I'd much rather see a price increase than have the boards go away. IMHO there isn't really any difference between a $49.99 price and the current $45, but that ought to help a lot with margins. I've been on the wrong side of "shipping money out the door and making it up in volume", and it's not a fun place to be. Please keep us posted!
