But REV. 01xx was not an internal-only prototype. 
Furthermore, in the board manual,
https://www.tq-group.com/filedownloads/files/products/embedded/manuals/arm/carrierboard/MBa7x/MBa7x.UM.0101.pdf
section 4.1.2, the old version is still referenced.

Yes, it restricts the usage of I2C address 0x48 in I2C1.
While I2C1 is not exclusive to the SoM, the TQMa7x manual states
"I2C1 is used for devices on the TQMa7x".
As a counterpoint, the MBa7x carrier board also uses I2C1.
