TheNextWeb now reports that that iOS 6 resolves this issue by forcing all devices to re-enter credentials if your Apple ID settings change.

The most important of these is that Apple now uses its push systems to force a user to re-enter a password to use iMessage once your Apple ID credentials have been changed.

Your iDevice has been stolen and we have identified the location of the perps. What do you want to do?
1. Go there personally and kick their a$$. 2. Call the police and report it. 3. The police suck, call my cousin Sam and tell him to hold the forgiveness. 4. Send three hot chicks over to persuade them to cough it up. 5. Stop diddling. Send the Russian Mafia.

The customer's messages would continue to arrive and be sent from the stolen phone even after changing passwords, a remote wipe, and a SIM card deactivation. Apple initially denied it was a bug, but did later compensate at least one affected user for her trouble.
