If you look at the advice people are giving in the thread about advice to AI makers it mainly revolves around clean AI with most other research not encouraged. I believe this is indicative of the stance SIAI takes and promotes at the moment. It is not the only stance they could take.
There is no reason why both research projects shouldn't be able to coexist (apart from the funding conflict which is a minor conflict).
I think SIAI is focusing on clean AI because most academic research is on messy AI. If you look at the margins, one more unit of research on clean AI is probably more beneficial than one more unit of research on messy AI.
Oh and there's the selection effect of LW posters replying in an AI thread.
There are very few people working on making messy AI Friendly, though. Most of it is charging forward recklessly.
