Probably "for real".
The error is believable enough - factory is supposed to have chip A sent to board A, and chip B to board B. But someone makes a mistake, and chip A is going to board B, and chip B to board A. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the story itself is real.
What is highly doubtable is the idea that this is a reason for the delay. The manufacturing process would be distributed among many factories, and it's still at least 7 months before any theoretical holiday 2016 release, so it's hard to believe that such a screwup would delay things by more than a week or so, overall.
