This is in line with what Pentax stated in the MZ-D cancel press release.
Here it's contents is freely translated from swedish:

Pentax have decided to cancel further development of the ["MZ-D" shown at 
Photokina] and will instead concentrate on developing a new and competitive 
digital slr.
Based on the experience and knowledge from developing the prototype [MZ-D], 
a new series of competitive models (thats right; modelS) that comply to 
market demands are now being developed.
