Is there any indication that this generation of Google Glass is intended as a prototype rather than a consumer-ready product, other than the reviews which overwhelmingly seem to describe it as such?

The fact that it doesn't work for the >50% of people who wear corrective lenses would be a start.

Also, the last three months have seen numerous software updates to add features and change functionality. It is an unfinished product and they are iterating based on user feedback.

Well, non-prescription sunglasses don't work for people with corrective lenses either. I wouldn't call that definitive evidence.

Was that fact noted by google pre-purchase? Because if it was..... again, google did nothing wrong.

Yes, it was noted that it was for developers and early testers:
