Do you know if they will they run the screen in a scaled mode? (i.e., 1920x1080 logical pixels, while using retina scaled assets)

Yes they should be able to. OS X can already do that on regular screens.

This monitor doesn't support scaling. If you push 1080p, it will not fill the screen.
That's not what HiDPI mode does; rather than rely on the (uniformly crappy) on-board scaling logic on the display, the computer sends a full resolution picture that it has scaled already. And there's no reason to think that this won't be available with this display.
