Well, we've now seen an actual trailer for Episode 7 without having heard anything from Disney about the OOT.

Anyone think they'll keep this bait-and-switch going all the way up to release?

By "this bait-and-switch", you mean selling the SE as if it were the OT, correct?  

The blu-rays have updated copyrights. There's a big difference between only releasing the SEs and marketing the SEs as the OOT.

If the Special Editions are marked as "Special Editions" in marketing/packaging, then it's not a bait-and-switch.  Otherwise it is.  It should be noted that the original home video releases of the 1997 SE's were explicitly labeled as Special Editions, so were not a bait-and-switch. The decision to remove all unambiguous differentiating text came later.
