mac mini and Bluetooth Keyboard - am I really this screwed?

Hope your replacement mini will have a working bluetooth....
That should get everything working, as you have already verified the keyboard is good.

The suggestion about a wired keyboard is a good one. Batteries in wireless devices are known to die at the wrong time. Be sure to keep a spare set of batteries.
 
So the 2nd unit of Mac Mini arrived yesterday but imagine that wireless keyboard is unable to pair with it too! After a long talk with Apple support and even with their Senior Technical Consultant who checked by himself, he confirmed that it is unable to pair wireless keyboard with Mac Mini during the 1st launch due to... Bluetooth being switched off by default! LOL

Because of that issue I am going to receive Apple's brand new wired keyboard for free. Hope this will encourage you to fight with them, instead of giving up and spending few more bucks on a wired keyboard which you don't need anyway.
