While doing away with the AA filter may be a little questionable, this 15x3 foveon would need a weaker one than a 15MP bayer. I note Sigma are saying they don't need AA to prevent colour moire effects, implying they think moire is ok if it's equal between channels. I can kinda see where they're going, if we draw parallels colour noise is generally considered ugly, but luminance noise isn't so.
The price certainly does kill it as far as I'm concerned.
