What I do know now, is this:

There was a Boba Fett action figure released pre-ESB.

My assumption was that:
It was initially made because he "appeared" in A New Hope. The release of the action figure was delayed then because the footage was cut.
Then, presumably when ESB was announced, they started to release the figure, with a little addition to the packaging, saying he was a "new character in Empire Strikes Back".

Man!!

Boba Fett was added to the SE.
He was not in the original footage.
If anyone can get hold of "From Star Wars to Jedi. The making of a saga" - which I have, they show the whole clip of the original guy standing in for Jabba. No Fett!!
