COMICS: Does DC Comics' New 52 Include A Reboot Of Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN?

In the latest issue of Justice League Dark, there's a panel that retcons a bit of Sandman history. Is this a signal that Morpheus is joining his Vertigo compatriots in the mainstream DC universe?

For those of you that have read Neil Gaiman's Sandman, you know very well what that item above is and what its place in the original Sandman volume. At one point, the item belonged to Dream of the Endless but it was subsequently lost and fell into the hands of B-list villain, Doctor Destiny. Without delving too deep into Gaimans brilliant run, the above reference in Justice League Dark thoroughly interrupts the continuity of the original series. Part of Gaiman's contract with DC was that the series would end once he was finished thus the above image is a bit of a headscratcher. Could more Sandman stories be on the way?
