I'm a bit wary of electronic shutters, and yes this will complicate
flash sync for fill flash, depending on the duration of the flash and
necessary exposure time. I'd be surprised if flash is supported for the
pixel shift exposures, too much room for error and customer complaints.

I believe that means the focal plane shutter opens once, and stays
open, for all four of the pixel-shifted exposures. The lens diaphragm
should likewise stop down appropriately, and stay constant during the
four pixel-shifted exposures.
Since the same scene is being rapidly photographed four times to get
the final enhanced image, and the focal plane shutter only opens once
for this process, it makes me wonder if there will be any
complications with flash synchronization. I'm wondering if the
enhanced resolution feature will only work properly with constant
light sources?

What is an "electronic shutter" if not the focal plane shutter?

It's no longer just a leaked report or rumor. I got an email about this
today, and you can find the official announcement on the Ricoh Imaging
website:
http://us.ricoh-imaging.com/dslr/K-3_II
Pentax Forums has also written multiple articles about the new camera.
I've been interested in the sensor-shifting approach to resolution
enhancement for quite awhile now. The way they've implemented it,
the final
image resolution stays at 24 megapixels, but the quality and
accuracy of
those 24 megapixels is noticeably enhanced. Sharpness is increased,
color
accuracy per-pixel is increased, and noise is noticeably reduced.
The images
are comparable in quality to other cameras that have a higher pixel
count in
their image sensors.
The new camera also has GPS and a compass built into the camera, with
logging capability. Not only will the new camera do astrotracing
with the
internal GPS unit, but it might even help me avoid getting lost if I
take it
on a hike in the woods. ;)
