No, this is, unfortunately, not a joke. Some Japanese developers and producers are canceling their trips to E3 because of Swine Flu worries. Square-Enix is one of these companies and will be canceling some of their employees' flights with the Kingdom Hearts team taking the hit.
Whether this means that Kingdom Hearts will be absent from E3 or that it will simply be presented by Square-Enix's North American team is unknown.
Thanks to Audo for bringing this to our attention.
