Seems a bit strange; fuji was excellent lenses which is the strength of olympus. I actually know nothing about fuji sensors; I mean they get some press for being different but I'm not sure if they are any better (or worse) than what canon or sony is producing these days.

I think fuji mirror less and MFT could co-exist because they are different markets. I might be wrong but speculation is that fuji mirrorless system will target high end market (much like their 6x7 cameras) though the details are sketchy.

Well, their APS-C DSLRs (Nikon) were better than anything on the market at the time and the current X100 is not bad either.

They say nothing about camera division as a motivation for a purchase.
While there may be some place for ex-Olympus mirrorless camera in Fuji line-up, they may just sell camera division to somebody just like Hoya did in the end.
Integration of two different camera departments could be just too difficult to accomplish.
