There are several blue posts on the forums now, this problem is a bug, 
not intended, and they are working on the fix already.

Those rumors would be wrong. Blizzard doesn't like botting, but they 
don't care about multiboxing. They have said this several times in the 
past, as long as you are using legal copies of the game and are at the 
keyboard playing them you can run as many WoW clients at once as you 
want to. If you are playing illegal accounts or servers, other people's 
accounts, or botting the accounts instead of playing them, then they get 
upset about it. :)
