What make you so dead sure that this is bluffing, purely tactics? How far in total has the price fallen since the release of the Henry review? The market has a very very good way of seeing through things that don't really matter (as you are suggesting applies to this).

I think you need to realise that they could indeed cut out of some of these future projects and that it isn't neccesarily a bluff. Have a look at the RIO share price today anyway. It is usually worth remembering this: the market is always right.
