I suspect they are simply switching to a US-style autumn/winter season with a Christmas break, so we will get 6 or 7 eps in autumn 2012, a break, a Christmas special, then the remaining 6 or 7 in the winter months at the start of 2013.
That then leaves them free to love-bomb autumn/winter 2013 and into 2014 ... 23 November 2013 being absolutely key, because that's the 50th anniversary. And in 2013 it's also a Saturday.

Is that paranoia? Maybe they are switching to a US Style season. Makes sense given the information given 'only some will be shown in 2012'. Doctor Who's ratings declined towards the end of the season, as we enter June/July, in previous seasons didn't they?
