Additional questions: Given that the DEA is more likely to reveal its methods in court intentionally or unintentionally (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9741357-7.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9741357-7.html), even if the NSA can decrypt iMessage communications, why in the world would they share this knowledge with law enforcement?
It's a modern version of the Ultra intercepts/Coventry blitz (now called into question). The NSA might risk revealing its methods if it would stop the next 9/11. To put a meth dealer in jail? Not a chance.

I think the government would need to be in mortal peril otherwise before they reveal they broke RSA, assuming that they have. To stop a 9/11-type attack they would probably fake some information leak from the other side.
