WI Dem Senators to be Duped into voting on Walker's bill?

Just saw this on TPM, followed their link to this.  

State Sen. Jim Holperin was driving back to his home in Conover this morning and said he expected other Dems to follow suit after the Assembly votes later today.

Holperin said most of the Dem caucus met last night and agreed to return once the Assembly finished its work on the legislation to strip away most collective bargaining rights for public employees. He said he may have left a little earlier than the others, but he believed the Assembly action was a foregone conclusion and there would be no Senate floor session today or tomorrow. He said he would return to the Capitol if that changed.

Now, given that Scott Walker has tried several tactics to lure the Democrats to come back to the State from their "self-imposed exile" in Illinois, and further given that the WI State Senate GOP leader previously ruled out using the manevuer that was in fact used last night, Doesn't it seem likely that this is another attempt to lure the Democratic Senators back to the state, so that they can be forced to appear, and the Senate can then hold an additional vote with a quorum present?
