Sorry.  Didn't mean to start a false rumor.  A friend told this to me
and I had not researched it.  Your're probably right about it not
being true that a x86 version of MAE exists.  It is a good point that
System 7.5 runs mostly in emulation mode on a PowerPC.  Copland being
pushed back further would certainly indicate that unless they farmed
the job out to somebody else they certainly wouldn't have the
resources to take on such a project.
