Nope, that was just a rumor. All the packs that I have bought has the proper cells in them.

A123 had warned me though about using those cells. They preferred me using the batteries made specifically for RC use or the developers cells. I personally don't see any difference between the two in performance. I'm guessing quality control might be different.

I love the A123's for my purposes though. I recently had a mishap with one of my "properly" built A123 packs, due to a ESC letting the magic smoke out. Cleaned it up, soldered heavy battery bars, charged it up, heatshrinked it and works like a charm again.
