I don't really understand what is accomplished by removing system images from their download servers. Are they unaware of what they are serving? Wiping your servers and then saying "We're not infringing your patent" doesn't make you look too good.

I doubt they removed the software to try and hide a supposed infringement. Sisvel would have ample evidence that the given software was available at a given date.
More likely this was to prevent Sisvel from claiming that they knowingly infringed the patent after the initial cease and desist notice. This makes it much less likely that the judge will grant a preliminary injunction against OpenMoko, which could shut them down completely for the duration of the trial.
