This is the part I'm slightly confused by. Obviously it makes more sense to hold in your own wallet (which I do), but what happens to the BTC people decide to keep on Coinbase when a separate fork is created? If those people are not getting the BCC for "free", who is? Coinbase?

If it ends up having value, and they keep/use/sell it in any material way, there will probably be a class action lawsuit.
Yes, they basically keep it, though it may turn out like ETC and eventually allow withdrawals.
