Matt is never going to give anything away so specific and I am not aware of any research being carried out. I think it makes sense that the higher a link is up a page the more weight it should carry, users are more likely to follow it therefore Google should give it a little extra attention. A link in the footer buried in text is hardly the sort of link Google want to be giving any real weight to. I have attempteed to run a few tests now on link position but as yet the results have not shown anything significant, it might have to be one of those research projects that goes on for months. @searchbrat,

What Matt says would suggest they are already doing something of the sort. I have read lots from Stompernet, SEOMoz about this rule but over on webmasterworld not many people seem to think it exists.
