I understand your reluctance, given how badly MeeGo has been an anticlimax after the relative success of Maemo. Before, with Nokia and Intel, MeeGo were really two different OS's for two different hardware platforms. They never did manage to merge Maemo and Moblin, as far as I judge it.

However, consider that Samsung have been looking for an Android backup plan, and they have really been focusing on having the same environment across device sizes.

So I think they're going to focus on "mobile device platform" and not "tablet platform". And Samsung aren't as afraid to throw their weight around and make a change as Nokia obviously have been.
