Thanks, Callipygian, for the great post. 
That's my read on it as well from a story perspective. There's forces, I think, that would, in a large breeding population, probably force a certain level of nunh rotation, but I'd say that socially, the taboos on incest and in-breeding must be weak to nonexistent among Seekers of the Sun.
That's not to say that individuals, of course, may not experience varying levels of "squick" at their own culture, depending on the personalities in question and the closeness of the biological relationship involved. "Call me Daddy," indeed.
