There was an article in the Bristol Evening Post a day or two ago that said exactly that - can't remember whether the overflying will be before or after the LHR visit though.
The Evening Post was not at all happy, saying to do this rather than land (as was intimated by Airbus some time ago when the visit to Filton was first put into the public domain) amounts to a major snub to the many workers at Filton who have put so much into making the 380 possible.
