Update, and another big D'oh!

The G4 needing deauthorization was successfully deauthorized. Wiping the
hard disk didn't matter; the authorization is held by Apple, not locally. I
booted up the old G4, launched iTunes, and was able to Deauthorize This
Computer  in the iTunes menu. Woo hoo!

So... authorization outlives disk re-initialization, another good data point
to know. :-) And Ma can continue to rock out without needing to worry. Whew.
