Can't have it both ways.
If they refunded fully in either dollars or BTC they could be milked as an speculation device with guaranteed profit.
Their costs are in dollars so you cannot expect anything else as a refund really.

You can get a $ refund, correct?

Obviously, they don't have enough bitcoins and are processing only partial refunds. They have speculated and sold large part of the bitcoins they got from their customers as "pre-orders". They were wrong expecting a lower bitcoin rate, however. This is why bicoin/$ exchange rate will now continue to rise as they need to buy bitcoins to make even partial refunds!
