Ever had that kind of guy in your team which commits something that doesn't work and he goes 'dunno, it worked on my machine' ? This is how I imagine that AMD Linux developers are.
Evidently actually communicating with them (they're not dead or anonymous, they are highly active in the community) and finding out that this is in fact not how they are, is beyond you.

(Happy AMD GPU customer here. By this point the support does everything I want of it, from compositing through Unity-based games. As of 3.11 with its working Radeon power management my machine's power draw has dropped by about 33% in one stroke, which is nice.)

I have heard nothing but horror stories about fglrx, and have never even been tempted to use it.
