Weird. Below the "Buy 1, Get Unlimited $1.99 CDs!" banner, I'm now getting-
J8E1-3 "Choose your 1 Free CD! No purchase necessary!"
J8E4 "Choose your 3 Free CDs! No purchase necessary!"
So maybe the original 'deal' was at least somewhat intentional...

Pure speculation: BMG is trying to clear out existing merchandise to change their business model to be more like Columbia House, IE purchase mass quantities of "store quality" CDs at cut-rate prices instead of licensing individual titles and having them specially manufactured.

I only placed three orders, so I could make it work by reordering between my two accounts, but what about the people who placed more orders than that? Will BMG honor those orders?

Uh oh. Now I'm getting the "Your Profile could not be initialized. Please try again later" message. My other account which I did not use to place orders this past weekend is working fine though.
Another ??? for me is that the orders I placed on Sunday showed as "shipped" on Monday afternoon, but late last night (after midnight) they mysteriously turned back to "processing".

I placed an order yesterday for 1 CD - Neil Young - Zuma.
I have three orders pending shipment. We'll see what happens.
EDIT: BTW, is it possible to go back and place orders using accounts that I've closed online but I can still log into? Though, to be fair, at this point I'm really looking for stuff that I might want to buy...

No error message on my account yet. I am done placing orders though, I think. Now that they've put that restriction I'd hate to push my luck and lose my account I've had for years.

There's this one lawyer who is always harassing BMG on account of their "misleading" shipping costs, purchase commitments, etc.. The hero compensates us victims with 1-3 80% coupons each time while he gets several millions for doing the work no one has demanded. A new settlement happens about once a year. He is probably the same guy who protects Blockbuster customers from their odious late fees that keep the working man in bondage. As an aside, I don't like him, and my theory is pure speculation.

I just checked my order status again. Of the 12 orders shown (the earliest few are gone, I assume they just don't display them) all but 1 are now showing shipped with various dates from 1-16 to 1-18. Earlier today they had all said processing. The one other order says not shipped, but all three items are shown as being temporarily out of stock.

I was able to get back into my locked account this morning and they were offering 3 free CDs if I switch to a paperless membership. So I did and made an additional order.

Yep, 7 of my 10 orders now show as shipped. The other 3 show as Temp Out Of Stock. In the past, I've seen Out Of Stock orders ship in 1-2 weeks. However there have been cases where the never ship and you get a credit. Considering BMG's shrinking catalog, I would be surprised if these ever come back into stock.
