They'll get Dalvik to JIT the bytecode eventually when they need it. I wouldn't worry about that. About the major break: what's funny is that Android is probably the first Linux that is both a viable platform and that also isn't GNU/Linux. So strong is the grip of FSF... By the way, Android is more than JavaME -- underneath the Java level Google has their own system libraries, such as Bionic-the-libc-replacement. It's really a new Linux userspace that runs the high-level Java stuff.
