Interestingly, shooting full-spectrum, the camera seems to collect 2/3 EV more light than a normal camera... this could have some interesting implications for low-light night photography.

It should be 1ev at night. Roughly half the available light at night is in the IR band.

I don't remember the context I was thinking of when quoting 2/3 EV.  I may have been shooting trains lit by a variety of light sources including street lights of various 'flavors' including sodium vapor lights, LED and other colors. When lit by residual daylight (skylight), or shooting astro, I think you're right it's about 1 EV more light captured with full spectrum, needing half the exposure of a standard camera.
