We're definitely worried about the hushmail attack, and we disclaim browser-based crypto on the site for those who want to protect against powerful adversaries. Some users might not have those concerns.

You've obviously indicated valid concerns, but note, they're not indictments of storing an encrypted private key on the server so much as they are of browser crypto.
