I believe the concern is that without ECMA/ISO standardization, there's nothing to stop MS from suing Xamarin/Mono should they decide to back away from an open language specification.

I don't think MS can retroactively back away from existing language specifications. So worst-case scenario would be that Mono stagnates, but even then it would not be particularly easy target for litigation for MS.
