It's a rumour thread but unfortunately based on two hoaxes, sort of.
- asahi man used an HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 ED DC AW to convey a cryptic, yet to be deciphered message about the future Telephoto Zoom Lens (its current name on the roadmap).

- On 5 May zackspeed (a retailer in Berlin, Germany, post count 18,246) wrote on DigitalFotoNetz.de that the Pentax D FA 50-300mm f/4.5-6.3 was on its way in a thread opened by him and then named 'Pentax 50-300 fullframe im Anmarsch'.
See the first post in this very thread as proof, the page header, including the thread title, was captured by Pentax Forums servers: 'DigitalFotoNetz.de :: Thema anzeigen - Pentax 50-300 fullframe im Anmarsch')
On 10 May, after asahi man had made his 'coming out', zackspeed surreptitiously changed the title of his thread that now reads 'Pentax 70-300 fullframe im Anmarsch'. Unfortunately for him he forgot to, or couldn't, change the content of his second post in this thread:
Source: DigitalFotoNetz.de :: Thema anzeigen - Pentax 70-300 fullframe im Anmarsch (note the modified title as captured now by Pentax Forums servers)
I must confess I find zackspeed's behaviour quite dishonest.

One wonders why Canon, Nikon and Sony's portfolios include both 70-200mm f/4 and 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lenses.

Based on the roadmap and on the lens being said to be compact, it couldn't be.

...and if it didn't look so much like an HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 ED DC AW in disguise.
If it weren't for asahi man, I would scream hoax. May be he had no 50-300mm to take a picture of and chose instead to disguise a 150-450mm to convey his message.

It's to Nhelnhel's suggestion of the lens possibly being a D FA 50-150mm f/2.8 that asahi man retorts "Nope", not to the lens being a D FA 50-300mm f/4.5-6.3.
