Or are some at IETF actually trying to set implementers up for legal action by refusing to evaluate *disclosed* threats?

Helping hapless implementers evaluate patent threats sounds like a job for the Internet Legal Task Force.

6.18 Legal and Regulatory Initiatives

The Executive Director briefed the Board on the developments relating to the proposed Internet Legal Task Force (ILTF), a proposed body whose objective was described as the investigation of various legal issues regarding the Internet and its social impact. The sense of the Board was to invite those interested in such an agenda to participate within the IETF framework and ISOC conference structure, but the Board did not wish to endorse the formation of an ILTF as a part of the ISOC organizational structure.
