Do they really mean 250 MQMs just for signing up for the promo? Even if one never goes near a Hilton, but does have a HH account?

'A "stay" is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, whether or not a guest checks out and checks back in again.'
Also, you must have Points & Miles selected as your earning style in addition to having Delta registered as your earnings partner.

It was this list http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/...rties/index.do, although I don't see the link to it on the offer page anymore...strange.

I called HHonors and received a very vague 'if it doesn't say there are any properties not participating, then they are all participating'. Clearly now the linked list above is no longer there. I have like twenty two night stays during the promotional period so it would be nice if all properties were participating.

But, the promo only has to sound good in the advertising copy... right?

It also looks like you don't get MQMs for additional nights, it's simply 250 MQMs and done.
Update: I actually agree with Ascii that the fine print overrides the email wording, and you probably don't get miles just for signing up but do get MQMs for doing the 2 night stays, which does, ultimately, make more sense.
The fine print says things like "Earn 500 bonus miles per qualifying stay + 250 MQMs." While you may be right, if so, it would have been clearer to say "Earn 500 bonus miles plus 250 MQM per stay", not "500 bonus points per stay plus 250 MQM."
So I think the 250 is a one time deal, given after you stay at least once.
Just saying...no, I'm not a lawyer.

Small print in the email I got says, "(2) complete a minimum 2-night stay at a hotel or resort within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio from October 1, 2012 through December 15, 2012." No talk of "participating hotel or resort" here. We shall see.

The Hilton MQM promotions are so limited that I doubt it makes much of an impact.
October 1st through December 15th is 76 days. If they allow a stay that starts December 14th to count, you could do this 38 times if you had started on Monday and did nothing but two night stays at Hiltons until mid December.
38 x 250 is 9500 MQMs. That's less than my signup bonus for an Amex card.
