Supposing you're correct that support is possible with current hardware, I can imagine an incentive for Sony to withhold announcement of PS4 UHD support plans for now (to move some stand-alone player hardware until player prices/costs fall closer into line with those of the PS4 so as not to cannibalize their own profit margin), but what possible reason does Microsoft have to not trumpet support from the mountaintop and beat Sony to the punch/market?

Sony is not even going to launch a UHD BD Player first generation....

It would be perfect for them to add UHD BD playback with a firmware update on the top selling hardware in the world right now....

Exactly. Were it feasible to do so, their holding off would make very little sense to me.
