The vulnerability clearly isn't in Android itself, it's in the operating system implementation (a custom linux distro?) on the G1 phone.
To classify it as an Android bug is a bit wide of the mark.
This is like saying that a Windows PC that boots a trojan on a CD has a vulnerability in Windows. Not so. The problem is in the CMOS settings allowing booting from CD.
Note: there are many phones in progress that will run Android. They could even run Windows CE or Symbian under the java framework. Therefore to classify this as an "Android" problem is just plain wrong.
