I think this post is going to contribute to semantic confusion; when most of us talk about utilons, I think we're talking about the output of a utility function.
I agree with the main point of the post, but I cannot recall having seen the word "utilons" used to refer to anything except either marginal utility or expected marginal utility, both of which are of course linear in expected marginal utility.
