That would be just great, I'd hang on to the K20D for some considerable time if there were a genuine improvement at high ISO. I can't see manual override of SR ever happening unfortunately.

Depending on how much of the High ISO improvement comes from firmware there may be an upgrade to the K20D shortly after the release of the new camera to address that. Remember the *ist-Ds had a similar upgrade to *ist-Ds2 standard in every feature except the size of the actual back of camera display after the release of the Ds2. There might even be improvements in the direct view implementation, on the K20D if it doesn't require the changes to hardware. Being able to override SR manually also sounds possible as well. Higher frame rate and higher shutter speeds would require hardware changes. So about half of your list may show up in the K20D's next, (and based on past history), probably last firmware update.
