R' Cantor Wolberg suggested that the question might hinge on the machalokes
between Rebbi and R' Nasan (Pesachim 93a) about a ger who converted or katan
who became bar mitzvah between Pesach Rishon and Pesach Sheini.

I'm not so sure if that's relevant here, because:

1.  In those cases, the majority of the tzibbur did bring the korban Pesach
on Pesach Rishon.  In the case I'm asking about, they did not, and that's
why I would be inclined to think that Rav's rule should apply: "kol heikhi
delo avdi tzibbur berishon, lo avid yachid besheini" (Pesachim 80a, not 90a
as I accidentally wrote last time).

2.  Those are cases where the person was fundamentally not a bar chiyuva on
Pesach Rishon.  We did have the basic obligation on Pesach Rishon, and were
only peturim because of ones.  Thus, in the theoretical event that he didn't
hold like Rav in point #1 above, even R' Nasan might agree that in our case,
we would bring it on Pesach Sheini.
