Really! Ok, fair enough, although it's a bit moot right here, the model
in question is a Dual G5, so would have had 512MB on the good
motherboard.

Really indeed, but afaik only on the 1.6 GB model.

Yup.

Although the later dual G5 1.8 got the old 1.6 motherboard with slower
caches and the 4GB RAM slots.

A friend of mine has experience:
after buying a monday model,
and sending it back three times for repairs
it came back with a new processor, new motherboard, and ...
512 Megs of RAM.

Aparently Apple didn't have any 128 MB DIMMM-s left,

Quite possible.
