Can anyone prove or disprove this? This obviously goes into my weighting of getting a UK passport if infact the US doens't observe dual citizenship.

This is correct. At age eighteen an American citizen must choose between their foreign citizenship or that of the U.S.
Obviously, most people will choose to retain their U.S. citizenship. However, even if you do not carry a valid British passport, you will never lose your British citizenship. The expired passport can be used as evidence of your right to live and work in the E.U.
