Actually I quickly read the license file included with the source distribution of firefox, and found no reason why the logo/name can't be used in custom builds. I'm no license expert, but does anyone have a clue how mozilla decided that builds other than those from mozilla can't use the name/logo?

Imho that was a pretty stupid decision by the mozilla team, things like names and logos are one of the most important aspects in marketing. It would be foolish to wreck it.

Finally, how do the mozilla developers feel about this? Do they agree with this "management decision"?
