My kids are on vacation and don't have access to a computer, but they do have a properly working G10 in addition to the faulty G12.

The menus look normal as well as the previous photos from before the problem.

They took the card out of the G12 and put it into the G10. The bad images were still there, but the card photographed and played back fine in the G10.

Upon returning the original card to the "faulty" G12 the camera bagan to work fine and still does. Sounds like either a loose connection or a bug/dust in the card slot. I suggested that they blow out the card slot, but not to have high hopes for not seeing the problem again.

Do bad SD cards ever act this way?

That's a very odd but interesting fix! Perhaps the G10 reset the SD card? Is that possible?? Although doubt it because assume card not reformatted and just a photo was taken on the G10. As long as it continues to work I wouldn't worry! Sounds like a great outcome to me...
