Invention has been nerfed in odyssey, and thus T2 BPOs have got an indirect buff. The margins will be better when producing off BPOs. Just this perception is likely to increase the demand of T2 BPOs. To note: the value of T2 BPOs is not dependent on the production profits.
The new items mentioned in the OP will not effect T2 BPOs in any way. BPOs for these items will never exist.

Another 70something T2 BPOs on the market brings the total to about 250. Isn't this like 5% of the total T2 BPOs in the game?
I can understand the speculation about it becoming less profitable to produce off these BPOs, but is this explanation a cover up for something more sinister? Do the sellers have some information that we mortals don't?

Thank you for the reassurance, Grendell. Think I had too much time to think during downtime and a T2 BPO nerf seemed imminent :)
I'm nearly certain that CCP won't mess directly with T2 BPOs, but looking at those 2 threads gave me that niggling feeling that one of the devs, towards the end of a pub crawl, may have let slip something about their long term plans for 'fixing' T2 BPOs.
Also: these 2 auctions, and the upcoming auctions have killed the market for many smaller fish. I have a cruise missile BPO that may have sold nicely at this time, but little chance now :)

That's probably my limited knowledge showing through. My reasoning at the time I write the above was:
ice changes = increase ice products cost = higher POS costs = indirect invention nerf
I thus thought it may cost more to produce off BPCs compared to BPOs. I was not taking into consideration the moon changes, which I still don't understand, but which, others have pointed out, may buff invention.

Grendell wrote:Not to beat a dead horse, but since the insertion of T2 bpos they have consistently gowing up in price. While the returns may no longer be spectacular like way back in the day, when you buy a bpo you arent putting your isk into a blackhole. You have a "physical" asset that has a value. So anything you manufacture from it, is pure profit from day one. Not to mention the value of the bpo will probably go up in price during the time you own it. So let's say you buy a bpo worth 50b, produce from it for a month and earn 1b isk and then sell the bpo. You're now 1b richer than you were a month ago. Feel free to ignore me though, that's just my 2 isk. 
Above reasoning is suspiciously similar to 'the minerals I mine are free' philosophy! :)
Though I know what you're saying, and I feel about the same.
