Not really. Facebook isn't giving up any information at all. So it's nothing particularly unexpected. Actually, it's kind of up FB's alley, because it allows them to gather info on web/app usage patterns of their users while leaking a lot less info to third parties. If anything this program gives FB more control over user information relative to third parties than the current FB Connect program.
We actually implemented Facebook Connect for April Fool's back in 2010. It was a real app and posted your 4chan post(s) to your Facebook wall.

The best part was the reviews. They were all either 1 or 5 stars. People were shocked it actually worked.
