I was under the impression that both the up and down goods were being
upgraded, these being on the "outside" of the existing lines...? (all
still happily in the right places for conflict-free operation between
the flyover at Ally Pally and the pair of diveunders at Finsbury Park,
I might add).

That's correct, however they are treated as two separate (but related)
projects by NR, and each direction can stand alone - and I think one
direction may have had a higher priority initially.

However according to the most up to date enhancements plan they both now
have the same start and *completion dates, ie Jan 2012 - Dec 2013...

I actually meant the up upgraded line is on the east side not west
side, but forgot that the down goods (on west side) was being upgraded
too. So that would mean Moorgate/Hertford Loop services would be
conflict-free of ECML USL and DSL and WGC services on both up & down
between F Pk and Alexandra P. However I think there would likely to
be movements from UFL at P Pk for FCC outers to stop USL rather than
UFL platform thus providing more UFL capacity, then some ex-WGC trains
may use the ex-goods new Hertford platform.
