Yes, this smells like Nemesis. If this is not a fake "I want public!" discovery, so often lately in science, this could be the stuff! Numbers are only problem here. We are talking in ~10^6 years, but I could beleive in that only if I had a paper in front of me (Ok, not paper) with the results having 10^6 +- "something". The words like "people we've discovered a new planet, belive us", don't mean anything. We could also question a stabilty of the orbit for such a distanced planet, etc. etc. etc....
