I don't think the Nano is dependent on 10.4.x for Cover Flow. Cover Flow was a feature in iTunes before it became a feature in the OS.
The Nano has its own OS on the device.
The computer syncs with the device to transfer files and charge the battery. The device is not dependent on the computer for operation other than initially setting up an iTunes account.
This is just an example of forced upgrading.
Yes, one should read the fine print before buying but this is another example of having to do things Apple's way.
I would try a bit of googling to see if anyone has circumvented the requirement.
