I'm pretty sure I've seen this restriction discussed on HN before, especially around the time g+ was introduced. I think they ran into this well, but I'm not sure what the resolution was.

Correct. That is pretty much exact reproduction of Google's statement when they cut off Facebook access to Gmail contacts. The irony.
