I don't see any signs of a new delay (yet). Oracle's presentations were a bit confusing on this subject -- you can even see "Java F/X" written in many slides, they are clearly still digesting this. I think the "beta before June" concerns with other pieces like the Design Tool, not the next release of JavaFX Desktop (1.2). Which was already broken into two releases, it seems the next one (containing the Prism render - 1.3?) would be scheduled for the JavaOne timeframe (I mean, the original JavaOne schedule - usually June).
Looking at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa, you can have a good estimation of whether 1.2 is in the track. The javafxc subproject certainly is, with the first SoMa milestone (compiled-bind- alpha) at 100%, the second (compiled-bind-2) very close at 53/63, the third (compiled-bind-3) at 24/41 and the last (SoMa) at 205/218; so, the total remaining number of bugs seem small enough for the expected release in late February. But for the Desktop Runtime, it's harder to tell; the bug status is at only 309/588 which seems a hard call for a single month, but if 1.2 was any indication, the progress of the Runtime's bugtrack is almost worthless as an indicator of how close they are to shipping.
