Meerkat makes it fairly clear that "everything that happens on Meerkat also happens on Twitter" – and the comments on a stream only go to Twitter as replies to the original invite tweet.
That's not 'automatically… to many users" but specifically to those viewing a thread, and only when individual users compose individual replies. It's not a clear violation of the quoted policy… if at all. And as you note, that's not the behavior Twitter has started.

Correct, but due to the Twitter mechanic where replies are shown in your feed if you are following both people (which was the case for me as the initial users are techies), it can still be a mess.
