My reasoning goes like this - It has been made clear by someone familiar with the script that when we meet Waltz' character, it is not clear if he is an ally or a villain or a bit of both. If they are spinning it like this and it turns out that he is in fact the film's main villain, wouldn't the casting of Waltz be a terrible idea and give the game away from the outset? So much so, that it would not even be worth them attempting to play it as a plot twist. Why even bother setting up this supposed ambiguity?
I could see Waltz as a corrupt opportunist who has involved himself in the villain's plan, a colourful character who is wicked but not outright evil.
Someone who the audience is not very certain about, even at the end.
