There  are more rumours over at dprev forums than members. A  digital
rangefinderfrom Nikon would be very appreciated, but  with
electronic-M-mount? I doubt Nikon would ever make any M-mount camera.  What
I am concerned, take autofocus, in-finder LCD and zoom away, put the  D3
fullframe sensor in the Nikon 2005 SP and I would be pleased enough.  And
even pay more than the mentioned $3k price  level.

They didn't mention FF per se. But I would assume the new pro  bodies would 
be FF.
As for the M mount, why not? They have the whole Leica  fraternity to sell 
the body to from the getgo. Leica is obviously honing the M9  accordingly. 
The 
M9 might arrive lower in price than we think, maybe with a kit  lens to boot.
