There's a common fan rumour to this effect, but I don't think it's corroborated by anything in-universe, and doesn't make any sense as such: getting himself executed by the Daleks after having swallowed the Deathworm is clearly a scheme of the Master's; he's planned all this through as a way to get into the TARDIS and steal the Doctor's body. Whereas he sure doesn't look happy about being arrested at the end of Destiny. So this looks like speculation to me unless there's any official confirmation that it was intended to lead into the movie.

(Besides which, it completely conflicts with the much more explicit account given in The Eight Doctorss of how the Masters gets put on trial by the Daleks.)
