Could it be a lead-up to Nokia joining the Android bandwagon? That might mean they need fewer linux engineers, only needing to support whatever value-adds that they put on top of Android.
Or maybe it means that, between trolltech and S60, they don't need as many GUI engineers on the Maemo team, if they've worked out how to get those things integrated into Maemo.
Or maybe it's just standard churn. How big is the Maemo team overall?
Nope, as one of them states it's just lots of underpaid work. In Nokia (like everywhere else in big companies) the oversized management eats most of the cake while engineering on its own is a dead end. It doesn't matter how good you are on the job, payment stays the same.
Good for them they got the lesson early and hopefully they'll get in a more exciting and much better paid work at a small(er) company.
