Is there precedent for this? I can recall stories about getting cut off from a service if modding is detected but not about this sort of thing.

The closest would be the risk of bricking your PSP but putting on custom firmware, but generally that was just a software issue or a user screwup, not a systemic attempt by a device manufacturer to screw the customer. The closest is as you say, Xbox Live cutting you off from service if your console is modded.

And apparently the Blu-ray scheme has the ability to stop non-compliant players from playing new movies.
