As far as the rules go, how is the "bump it up" comment before the cards were dealt any different than a group showing up at a table with the intention of magoo-ing it up and 5-betting everything in sight?
Serious question. I agree that the way the floor handled this situation was pretty bad.

The difference is that your group of magoos is 5-betting everything, not just the selected hands when they decide it is to there advantage.

Again, it's not really to their advantage if everyone at the table hears it ahead of time. I mean, what if guys just say that every kill pot they will straddle and restraddle? Big whoop.

If you are not in one of those places where you can straddle from any position that would be correct, but if you are in a place where you can only straddle from UTG you can't do this.

Sure you can. Minor semantics. You can announce to the table that you are going to raise no matter what when the action gets to you prior to the cards being dealt. You just have to wait for your turn to act.
This was an issue I had to explain to a dealer coming off the 2+2 table last year over the holidays when they took over a 3-6 table.
