OK...I have an update. I completely changed my mind yesterday, as I found an 08 Hybrid FWD fully loaded at a dealer 3 hours away. They said they would accept the x-plan, so instead of waiting for the 09, my impatience got the best of me and I went with the 08. So far, I love it! I did call the dealer I had ordered through and asked him if it would be any hardship on them if I backed out of my order and went with the 08. Not surprisingly, he wasn't worried at all about selling the one I ordered, so the no deposit thing didn't cause any issues at all. When I was talking with him, he reassured me that even though we didn't sign any paperwork, it was ordered under x-plan, and had my name assigned to it.

Gary, I'm in the exact same position as you. I ordered my 09 FEH Limited on April 18, and the dealer confirmed that the order went through. The curious thing is that I wasn't required to make a deposit, and he did say that he would accept the x-plan price (even quoted me the $29,280 quote.) Please let me know what you find out. Since I didn't fill out any paperwork or sign anything, I guess it's possible that he could sell my car to a higher bidder. I trust the dealer, as I bought my current F150 from them, but your question has piqued my curiosity.
