Actually I found out what it is and it's iOS7 related.
He had a developer install of ios7 on it and apple has added a new security feature to curb theft it seems.
The iPad is linked to your apple account and you have to delete the link prior to wiping the OS if you intend to sell it to a new user.
What happens if the link isn't deleted before you wipe it, it goes into security mode and won't let you reformat unless you use the previous owners log in info.
It's fixable and a bit inconvenient but sounds like a pretty good security feature to curb theft in the future.
