- The default build for Firefox and Thunderbird uses non-trademarked

Are you sure? The graphics seem to have the words "Firefox" in them,
which doesn't seem a permitted use of the trademark to me.
The default build removes the trademarked logos (the fox-on-globe or the
bird-on-envelope) but not the trademarked words. This is because our
current trademark policies are more strict about the use of the logo
compared to the word, so more people (e.g. all our localisers) use the word.
Of course, there's a big "under construction" sign on all this, so I
wouldn't be surprised if reality differs a little from the ideal.

Ah, I found another directory mozilla/dist/branding as well as the
mozilla/other-licenses/branding one that I knew about. Which of
these are actually used?
mozilla/dist is the built version of Mozilla.
mozilla/other-licenses/branding shouldn't be pulled or built unless
you've set MOZ_USE_OFFICIAL_BRANDING:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/Makefile.in#208
This is done using the --enable-official-branding switch to configure.
If a clean CVS pull without that switch is pulling and building in that
directory, that's definitely a bug. :-)
Is MF implicitly licensing
the trademarks by making it so hard to remove them when performing
acts permitted by the copyright licence?
No. :-)
Amusingly, the "About FireWWW" box says it is copyright
contributors, but pressing the credits button displays a box
empty apart from "FireWWW \n The browser, reloaded". How do
Mozilla contributors feel about not being credited on the
About box at all?
If you wait, it scrolls - or it should do. There are also more
contributors at about:credits.
