My understanding from their site was that they a) ran out of tubes they could risk, and b) are having problems with sealing the previously mentioned ultor ring leaks. It sounds like the electroplating idea might well work- if not they'd need some sort of thin flowable sealant they could gently vacuum in to the leaks and let cure (UV or IR-cure?) to fix the problem.
I too have my hopes up they solve it, it would definitely be a relief to everyone sitting on a leaky tube that they can still get (near) original tubes!
