Yes, it works fine on AT&T with a zeroed out IMEI (the baseband is still correct). I know others have encountered problems with an IMEI of zero and unknown baseband. I read quite a lot of sad stories when trying to find a way to restore mine, but I've never actually had an issue connecting. Indeed, when I put my old AT&T SIM card back in, I'm back to where I was without the Free Mobile card (i.e., reasonable 3G speeds, but very expensive data).

Even so, I'm pretty sure you're right. The zero IMEI is probably going to prevent me from doing anything useful with my phone here in Europe.
