Lubricating the interior of your hopup and barrel is not really a desirable trait of BBs. You don't want your bucking to be bone dry, but you do not actually want any part of the contact surface or seal to be lubricated. In addition, the interior of your barrel should be absolutely clean and polished for consistent performance.
There is a good reason that so many people choose Prometheus barrels for their bore quality and chant over and over again that quality of spin applied from the hopup is more important than any other factor when looking to get distance and accuracy. Grip matters -- lubricant will completely get rid of that. Bore quality matters -- deposits of residue will upset the laminar flow necessary for a good shot.
In all likeliness the lube in these BBs has been added in order to ensure feeding of the oversize BBs in the variety of guns they'll be fed to -- i.e. so that customers don't simply declare these as a defective product en masse.
Side note, the biggest issue I find with a product like this is that it is inherently cynical about the state of our honor-based game. Marker BBs are not going to make bad players any more honest, and if anything, they'll probably end up causing more friction between players, because in the event of a dispute, how do you think the act of calling everybody over to review your "evidence" is going to go over with the host, your fellow players, etc? If you're at the dispute and finger-pointing stage, you've already lost.
My advice to you is to play with a group of players that you trust and try to improve the state of honesty within your player community and stick to quality BBs that won't gunk up your gun and destroy your accuracy.
