I was thinking along the same lines and found it on pdaphonehome's first look (don't think i can post links yet) that it does indeed share an antenna.

I also thought that I read somewhere that using wifi and bluetooth at the same time makes bluetooth a take performance hit, but i cant seem to find that article now.

From pdaphonehome's first look:

We now have a dedicated WiFi button to turn it on and off. This is very handy for me, because I don't use WiFi a lot and I'd like to know for sure when I am turning it on. It was reported early on that WiFi and Bluetooth share an antenna so that they couldn't be used simultaneously. I have found that this is not true. I was able to use WiFi while listening to stereo music via Bluetooth. What I did find is that throughput via WiFi was about 25% reduced when Bluetooth was active.

I had it backwards. My bad.
