It looks like Fuji has officially announced the X-A1:

You can find many more links by googling as well.
It does look like all the important bits from the X-M1 are all there including the tilting screen and crucially the twin multi-function thumbdials. The key difference does appear to be just in the sensor where the X-Trans makes way for a more conventional CMOS sensor. This may be the camera that is able to reproduce the look from the original X100 in interchangeable lens form however I do fear that the sensor (assuming it is a variation of the familiar Sony 16MP APS-C sensor) is going to have a somewhat different feel than the older 12MP unit that also did wonderful service in various other non-Fuji camera models as well.
