My Pa1000 did not read the os 1.2 in PKG when I tried once in the past.
I am sorry that you have had great problems with the Pa1000 for so long.
It is incomprehensible why errors can still occur after a factory reset with a complete package. Unfortunately I have no advice on what to do about it.
Maybe there exists a Pa1000_std_v120_factory-reset.upd-Package and Korg will send you on demand.
With the Pa4x I noticed that it is also necessary to clean the memory from samples before updating the OS (delete command in Sample dialog "All Samples, Mulitsamples, Drumsamples").
This is as difficult to understand as your posting where you tried to format internal disk of Pa1000 but noticed some existing files on it after formating.
So as a precaution before a factory reset with a full package everything I would delete and format what can be deleted manually on the pa1000 (although I doubt whether it makes sense).
Sorry about I can not give you any useful help.

Pa1000_Operating_System_v120.pkg is a Minimal-Package whereas pa1000_std_v120_factory-reset.pkg.001 (002) and pa1000_std_v150_factory-reset.upd.001 (002) are Complete-Packages.
Complete-Packages are used in case only due when the instrument appears ‘frozen’, due to memory corruption or loading of incompatible data.
Factory reset with installing complete packages install Operating System and the original Factory data in the instrument’s internal memory.
Minimal-Packages are used to update the instrument’s Operating System (new features, improvements, bug fixes, new sounds and/or styles) and is including all previous updates. If OS-update also includes Musical Resources (Sounds, Styles…) this type of data only acually is updated until executing also a Factory Restore (from Media Page) after instrument is turned off and on after System update is completed.
