I agree that the news (whether it's true or false) being Sabo turning traitor is more likely than it being Sabo's death or capture. The characters' reactions make more sense this way. For example, Ivankov says it would be unthinkable since it's Sabo: it wouldn't be unthinkable for Sabo to die or be captured on a dangerous mission, but it would be unthinkable for him to work with the World Government after his experiences.
