The Bayer matrix of the IS-1 isn't special, according to the guy from Fuji who ran a workshop on it here. It's just the IR/UV cut filter that is missing. It's quite normal for absorption-type (ie dye) RGB separation filters to pass IR. As you point out, the degree of IR transmission may be different from one filter to another, particularly for IR near to 700 nm.
The IS-1 is not a great camera - it has a hot spot at many aperture/focal length settings, apart from anything else. The IS-Pro is a much better camera, but at the time I made that comparison the IS-Pro was not available. I use my IS-1 more for scientific use than pictorial, so the hot spot is not all that important.
Best,
Helen
