While your point is well taken, and I doubt they'd give a kid a "skinny envelope" in front of other recruits (though I could see discussing it at the end of the weekend, if they did happen to get such unfortunate news while the kid happened to be in town), it doesn't necessarily follow that they've all been admitted. It would seem to imply that none of them have been rejected (at least not yet), however, and I believe that some have been admitted. As I understand it, those decisions sort of "come in when they come in". An admission letter is a great "icing on the cake" element to a visit to Stanford, but you don't have to get one this weekend (or before) to ultimately get admitted.
EDIT: To answer your first question, I can't imagine why a recruit would take an official visit to Stanford after learning that they had been turned down by Admissions, so I think it's safe to say that it hasn't happened to kids who are still planning on taking those trips.
