Hi,
If there is any substance to it, I am not sure about the AF quality at all. What I understand from following the 43 to µ43 transition, you have to design contrast AF in you lenses. In particular lenses requiring large movements of heavy stuff, will not do well with contrast AF. Olympus stated that they have a problem putting their fantastic 12-60 design in a µ43 mount for that reason.
I think moving the entire Pentax K-lens-line on a design along the lines of that rumour is just doomed.
