Is that naivete on the side of Io.js here, or is there more to the story?

I'm not sure what you're asking, you left out the key part of the quote:

Frankly, I kinda like the name Io.js better than Node.js

Well, if it was for a project that was implementing Io [0] on top of JavaScript, sure. For a server-side JS stack based on V8, I don't really like the name at all.

It's more likely that they be called Microsoft.js than Node.js at this point.
