I kept hoping that someone closer to the situation would post, but
they haven't, so:

The secrecy order on Shamir et al.  was lifted.  He has been told this
telephonically by the relevant authorities, but last I heard had not
received a letter.  Nevertheless it appears he is free to present the
paper at FOCS.

The whole affair is considerably embarrassing and annoying.  The
general belief is that NSA in particular is cheesed off, as they
weren't responsible.
