Just a bunch of rumors on the internet by busybodies that have nothing better to do with their time other than to say that the Hulk will tank.

I agree that the rumors were overblown, but the director recently confirmed that Marvel pulled a fast one on Norton. Long story short: he agreed to do the film under the impression he would be involved in a rewrite of the screenplay. This seemed like a fairly credible source when I came across it yesterday.

Completely true or not, there's something to it. Now we'll just have to wait and see if it effects Norton's decision to sign on for the follow-up.
And, for the record, I loved this film. I was excited about it the moment I heard Ed Norton was cast in the starring role. I would love nothing more than seeing these movies continue to succeed for Marvel so we can continue to see great movies in return.
