I have seen the HP change, starting abilities change, and specifically... I have also seen starting Br/Fa at 72/70 (to name the one from this morning).

I the first time I named him Demy and gave him the birthday of Oct 1, I did this 10 time to see if anything shifted or changed. It did not. After restarting a new game for the 11th time, I changed his name to Nicodemus but kept the birthday Oct 1. His HP shifted to 51, and Br/Fa was 70/70. I repeated this another 10 time, and the new stats remained.

This is why I was asking if anyone had a copy of that old FAQ or if someone still had the formula the game uses to determine these variables.
Are you sure that this wasn't because of story events? I was certain that Ramza starts at 70/70 as well. The few dialog options in the game (like deciding whether to Save Algus or Destroy the Death Corps) can permanently alter Brave by a couple points.
