I think a dedicated B&W M digital would be an attractive product but it would have to be a 'proper' one designed from the ground up without a Bayer filter. Re-designing the existing M8 as a B&W only camera (i.e. make changes to the firmware to 'disable' the colour capability) will make Leica look even more stupid than they do at the moment.

Marc, have you thought about using the M8 as it stands for your B&W work? The shot you posted in an earlier thread (taken by your Russian friend?) was a beautiful example of how 'film-like' the M8 can look.
