I had a quick look on ftp.apple.com and ftp.support.apple.com, and
there is no sign of them anywhere (I didn't check every directory,
just the obvious ones).

Not true.  They have put _some_ files on ftp.support.apple.com, namely
System 6.0.1, HyperCard IIgs and miscellaneous support software.

These did not come from the same source as the files on bric-a-brac,
as evidenced by the fact that the files on support are in an unusual
format (Apple II files with a MacBinary header or Mac compressed disk
images) but the bric-a-brac ones were simple ShrinkIt/BinSCII files.

In addition, bric-a-brac had a copy of System 5.0.4, the 8-bit Apple
II System Disk (4.0.2 I think), and all of the Apple II Technical
Notes (text versions).  These are nowhere to be found on
ftp.support.apple.com.
