I got an e-mail back from VIZ today explaining that they were never in fact confirmed to be hosting a panel at Sakura Con, and the panel’s appearance in the program was an error on the convention’s part– VIZ did send an editor to talk about the manga Haruka -Beyond the Streams of Time- but was not supposed to be having a full-on industry panel. The same thing happened to Antarctic Press, who was showing in the exhibitor’s hall but who didn’t know they’d been scheduled to have a panel until it was about ten minutes from being over.

So! In other words, VIZ did everything they had planned to do at Sakura Con, and we don’t have to be worried that something’s up anymore. Yay!
