It's nothing new, I fear.
Years ago I read about a similar predictability for ISP-supplied routers that used the MAC as seed for the default WPA key and the SSID. Once someone decoded the algorithm it was trivial to access many home networks.
At the end of the day, I believe it's cheaper to flash the same firmware image on all of the boards and differentiate them during the first boot or even at runtime like in this case.
