FYI, Chapman's US dealer confirms they're still made at WMF, same as JT Variax and PRS SE's. Looks like my wish of getting a Variax without the shitty Variax electronics might be able to happen (sort of) after all. I was kinda wanting another guitar for A. keeping at work and B. practicing my Drew-approved skills of guitar setup and electronics swapping, without resorting to trying it on my more beloved guitars.

They don't *have to* be glued in at all, no, in fact it's preferable to not have to glue them in, as it makes them easier to replace with no damage to the wood underneath. But in order for that to be the case, the groove in which they sit has to be a very snug fit that requires a bit of force or a tap from a mallet to get them in. This was just ridiculous though, it was only held in place by string tension, and that's absolutely retarded.
