If the CRF bikes continue to sell well and if the Rally is also a success, then my prediction would be that Honda will boost the CRF/Rally to 300cc using the CBR engine.
I agree with your other points, it's true sales are too small for OEM to put big money into rally bike. Many say they'd buy it and cry on internet for such a bike ... but when it comes out, and they see the price!!! ... they DON'T buy it! 
We've seen this scenario repeat OVER AND OVER ... look at the TDM 850 (in USA). A disaster for Yamaha yet the bike did well in France and EU.
I still believe a 300cc version could happen.
