I havn't thought anymore about it, but when we were shopping for our JKU Sport early this summer I thought the Rubicon I saw on the lot had BFG MT KM2's with the old style tread pattern from a couple years ago. If this is the case, the "new" MT KM2's you were told about have been out for a couple years. It's not unusual for a tire manufacturer to make a "spec" tire for OEM's. This may be the case with the BFG's on the Rubicons.

Yep, those have been out a couple years. I think my theory may be the case here.
