"It is widely believed, ..."
Yes, ya got me on that one sport.  I've reading 22MP.
Either which way, you're right as to it being a new sensor and until Canon quits jacking up the pixel count, one body isn't going be a reality unless Canon decides to do the software crop thingy and put the one body on the market for under a $4,500.00 (USD) street price.
Any bets on that happening? 
------------------------------------
"It also occurs to me that Canon would make more money selling two or three camera bodies at different price points ..."
To be offset by additional manufacturing costs Vs profits of a one product manufacturing line.
If I lose one sale, because I charge twenty dollars more for my services, it will take eight additional service calls, at the twenty dollar more price point, to simply make up for that one lost sale. So, as you probably already know, in business, less can be more.
If Canon can sell an equal number of bodies, at lesser profit, yet not have the manufacturing costs of several body lines, they're money ahead because of what they've saved in manufacturing/administrative costs. One product line costs tens of millions of dollars to set up and tens of millions of dollars to maintain. Two seperate lines cost more than one plus one cause you have administrative overhead; economy of scale isn't always a gimme. It's a pyramid's nightmare if you throw a third/fourth manufacturing line into the mix cause now you're managment intensive as wall as being buried by part manufacturing/supply administrative details. Simple is good.
