Does this mean that Thunderstrike (and previous PCI-based attacks) are not usable against the new Mac?

No, there is no access to PCI address spaces over the USB 3 port. At least not yet, with existing hardware. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread it's not an impossibility to see an evolved (but compatible) standard in future USB 3 hardware.
