It has been my experience that major competitors  -- to the extent they 
are interested -- have knowledge of competitive product specs long 
before they are released to the general public.

Sounds about right. The official embargo date is some time in late
August. Reviewers like DP Review will have samples before then but
aren't allowed to reveal anything until the embargo date. It wouldn't
surprise me to see a full review on dpreview.com on the 29th.
     

What I'd like to know is who or what is the supposed beneficiary of this 
embargo?
   

Pentax Corp.

It keeps the competition from knowing the details of what the camera can
do until as late as possible. Standard procedure for all manufacturers.
