If they are in the research group, then they are not IE developers. A better objection would be that they could have been looking for vulnerabilities within IE8 itself, but one could easily argue that they are by exploring the Google Frame, which is intended to be a major part of IE.

Chances are that they are doing the research to discredit Google Frame (and therefore, Google), but by finding one, they do prove that is was worthwhile.
