While I didn't go and look, I'm *guessing* that this has to do with the
US export restrictions on super computers. Apple had this problem when
they announced the IIfx and at one stage even ran an ad-campaign
complete with tanks to highlight the performance.

So, while this is only a wild guess, that's where it comes from...

The tank ad was for the G4's.

Hello

I was just having a quick look at the G5's at the Apple Store and noticed
the abovementioned red note appearing at the bottom of the description of
each model. 

Here is a quick link:
