Secondly, Alex Artemenko (Director of online direction at 1C), talks about 1C-Online's plans to release a 'multiplayer version of the great IL-2'. Presumably this is IL2-1946 (by the look of the cockpit graphics in the article). Isn't IL2 already multiplayer?

Thirdly, no mention of ClOD at all, just a passing reference to the 'new' MMO for Il2-Sturmovik. Does this suggest that BOM is still in the way distant future? Perhaps they realise they've botched ClOD so badly they dare not speak it's name

The MMO is different from the current multiplayer: servers are run by the developer and you have to pay a monthly fee to join it.
As far as the MMO engine etc B6 clarified that in the Fresh Stuff from Sukhoi thread. Same engine of CloD, not the old Il2. Alfa released within 2013 (haha!) after ironing out all the remaining bugs.

Cheers!
