One disturbing thing is the reports of the pedal unscrewing itself.

I've seached this group and the net and cannot find any other reports
of these pedals unscrewing themselves. Anyone see this firsthand?

Given the fact that this dude thinks it's the *right* pedal that would
have to be reverse threaded, rather than the left, I think we can safely
dismiss him as a crank.

Well, not exactly... see:

Basically, the pedal body is threaded into a sleeve that holds the
bearing. So it can unscrew. Though in looking at the pedal, I can't
really see how pedaling action should have the standard effect to
unscrew the pedal from the body -- those parts really shouldn't be
working against each other. That said, some appear to have backed out.
I would think a little loctite should this ever begin to unscrew may
not be a bad idea.
