Consider the dialogues between MIB and Desmond right before Desmond was pushed down the well, it almost looks like Desmond is expected to be pushed, or to put it in another words, trick MIB to do something. "Why aren't you afraid?" "What's the point of being afraid?" When you are in the know, there's no point to be afraid.
Also, why Desmond wanted to know how deep the well was? Is it possible he was expected to be pushed down and thinking how deep he would fall later on? he seems to know exactly what's going to happen.
Lastly I thought about the kid they saw on their way to the well. He saw MIB and Desmond, then gave a smile before running off. Clearly the kid annoy the hell out of MIB. But the smile, such a sneaky smile. I believed the kid enjoyed the fact that MIB and Desmond were together, knowing MIB was going to do something wrong, something MIB shouldn't be doing. As for what it all means, I didn't think too deep into this. But I am confident to say, adding what we have seen with Hurley and Charlie, to say Desmond tried to kill Locke in the FSW is for revenge is just flat-out wrong. Just putting it out there.

I think you're right. The kid was thought it was funny that Desmond and MIB were together. Was he an older version of the bloody hands kid? Is he Jacob coming back to life?

I don't think Desmond was trying to kill Locke either.

I'm not sure about the "revenge factor" either but for another reason. I was wondering if Desmond was trying to kill him because he had a "Flash" of Lovke as MIB. So he didn't run over Locke as retribution for throwing him down the well on the island but because he knew that in his alternate version Locke is the ultimate bad guy. That's why I also think Desmond lied when asked by fLocke who he was and Desmond responded "Of course, you're John Locke". Did I also catch a knowing smile from Desmond at that point, and a bit of doubt on the face of fLocke when he heard what Desmond had to say??
