When this site was proposed, there was an unspoken understanding — heck, sometimes it wasn't even unspoken — that it was the place for questions like "What's your favorite programmer cartoon?" and "What book should every programmer read?"
Assuming for a moment that the migration pathway opens up from SO after the beta — that's being discussed at a separate question — do we still want to ask those questions during the beta?  It's already happening; example 1, example 2.
On the one hand, it seems redundant.  But on the other hand, there's always the merge function.  Back to the first hand, merging will probably create some dupe answers.  But on the second hand again, there are already dupe answers.

I think asking them now before a migration path is important as it sets the tone for the site.
This site is a little different than previous SE sites in that it's meant as the place you put all the off-topic and subjective but still programming-related questions that get closed on Stack Overflow. It's important that we can show that demonstrably by seeding the site with quality questions that would normally get closed on Stack Overflow.
If we limit ourselves to questions that haven't already been asked on Stack Overflow when this site is meant as a place for all those questions that don't belong on Stack Overflow, the amount of questions available to seed the site becomes very limited.
Although, I should say the examples you pointed out are pretty low quality to begin with, and I hope they aren't going to be used as exemplars for what Programmers.SE will become. On another question, I suggested those types of questions that are of the ilk What's your favorite cartoon? or What's your favorite quotation? might be better off closed as off-topic even on Programmers.SE.
