Isn't the Arduino / Labview combo ...

Yes. The typical involvement is to use the Arduino as an I/O unit. It is possible to target it via the embedded tools, but that involves generating C code from a LV diagram and then running that through additional development tools. This is reasonable for experienced developers, but the debugging and specifics of execution can be somewhat complicated. It is also a subset of the LV language, and the execution is not necessarily the same as desktop and RT LabVIEW.
The LEGO Mindstorms NXT is indeed an ARM7, and NXT-G is a pretty faithful version of LV, but the execution is done with a virtual machine rather than generated code. This works fine for the intended user, but it is actually rather slow, even for an ARM7.
