Isn't amazon's thread (the thread servicing my login attempt) blocked on those two requests?

One thread can be made to handle all such requests, so yes, the thread would be blocked, but it wouldn't scale to a denial of service through thread exhaustion - file handles are another matter, but again this is an implementation detail which can be coded for, rather than an inherent weakness in the protocol. It might be useful to identify such forms of attack in order that such implementation traps are avoided for any officially designated DIX protocol.
