I've signed up for similar Amex->Delta bonus offers in the past that had the same T&C caution. However, despite not being an official recipient of those offers (always found out from FT instead), I always got the bonus miles at the end of the promo. Did this 4-5 times, success each time.
That being said, the last time I did this was over twelve months ago, so YMMV, but I would assume the bonus should show up so long as the Delta system lets you register.

Two promos ago I had to fight for 15% bonus because I wasn't targeted even though the site let me register my SM number. Finally got it, but it took about 6 emails.

Last promo, the miles were transferred to my DL account from another FTer in a coupon connection trade. I registered for the bonus miles even though the transfer was from someone else's AMEX and I got the bonus.

no award seats so why bother?
I've done that in the past. Now, you cannot get seats on DL flights at any sort of advance time out. I tried for 3 weeks to get seats to Europe 11 months out and gave up and went for AA seats (which I got on my first call). DL is making it useless to accumulate Skymiles-you'll never get 2 J seats on the same flight.

Transfer Club Rewards® points to SkyMiles between April 15 and July 15, 2008, and you'll receive an additional 25% mileage bonus.
More time (90 vs 51 days), larger bonus (25% vs 20%).
