The last thing I heard from the AskFox lady (paraphrased):
The episode was not shown because it was too violent, and will never be shown as long as Futurama is in the 7pm timeslot. Futurama will be in the 7pm timeslot next year (supposedly because it's the only show that's ever been successful in that slot, and they're not going to mess with a good thing). Therefore, we will have to wait until the Futurama videos and DVDs come out to see this episode.
Now, she may be wrong, but that's what I've heard.
Meanwhile, as far as episodes from this year being shown next year:
If you work it out, even not counting "Two Santas" or the four episodes made as part of the season 3 production run but planned for the start of season 4, there are still more episodes left this season than there are weeks. So, unless Futurama runs long, or they show two episodes/week, at least 2 of the episodes everyone's listed as "Season 3 Upcoming Episodes" will actually be shown season 4.
And, since no network ever shows a new episode every week for any show (normally it's 11 or 12 new episodes per 18- or 19-week half-season), it'll probably be more like 5 or 6 episodes carried over.
Finally, remember that football will be on again next year, so Futurama's first half-season will be shortened. Plus, they've started their season late two years in a row, so can we really expect them to get their act together next year?
So it'll probably be over a year from now before we see any of the 18 episodes they ordered as the "season 4" production run....

Originally posted by Kryten: Actually, I believe we're supposed to get fresh episodes through May (except for the week they run "Star Wars I: Okay, We Admit it, Jar Jar Sucks"). There's plenty of precedent for a move like this; ABC's done it a number of times with "NYPD Blue".
Well, they could run until the end of may (two weeks past the end of the season). Fox does this more often than other networks (although it's usually with 90210 and/or Melrose Place). But even then, they'd still have to show a new episode every single week to finish the season. And they've never done that before. For example, the first time they showed 90210 into the summer, they went four weeks over (meaning they had a 40-week season instead of 36), but they still only fit 27 episodes in. In other words, it was still the typical 2 new episodes every 3 weeks.
