the author of electrum reviewed the code changes and he seems pretty skeptical, IMO it is likely a scam to steal seed for BTC wallets
This one is interesting:

imo a lot of people going to lose their BTC trying to cash in their bitcoin cash --- we'll be reading the sad stories soon enough, gonna be a bunch
I am not even confident in the replay protection of Bitcoin Cash, let alone any singular wallet implementation. I am almost certain that a lot of people will lose money trying to dump BCH.
They can do what they want with my private key I could even post it here publicly (im not) because I will have already transferred all my BTC to a new wallet before I even consider importing it to any BCC compatible wallet and draining its funds after that the wallet will be dead to me
A super majority of people will not do that before interacting with BCH. Do you really expect the average user to know the best way to proceed? Most of them know nothing besides the part "import your private key into a BCH wallet to use and dump it".
