Would be a nice venue to introduce in-body IS.
The beauty of Canon is you can use the best lenses with all of the bodies from low to high. Internal IS would make me believe that the body wouldn't be compatible with the IS series.

I doubt that. Four Thirds made it work. Panasonic/Leica sell a lens with IS, and Olympus makes a body with IS. If you want to you can turn both on, but it makes shots blurry. Just turn off the in-body IS when using the lens with IS, and all is good.
Canon could implement in-body IS even better: detect an IS lens (this is already possible, as lenses tell the body what they are) and disable in-body IS for those lenses. No user intervention required.
I doubt they'll do this, however. Canon is big into their "lens-based IS is superior" myth.
I would guess the typical buyer of this entry level camera might not even buy more than 1 additional lens (short telephoto zoom). This camera is born from the marketing side of the house. To say you can have a 18-55 55-200 stabilized system for less than $700 would be a hit.
