On general principles, I would say that your proposal addresses most of the issues. I am concerned, however, with the current rule for floating dry docks and how it would apply to your proposal.
The current rule states: "A floating repair dock costs half the IP of a comparable "land" drydock (graving dock) but is only capable of repairing ships or conducting Major Refits, and never to build a new warship. Additionally, a floating repair dock should be in place in sheltered waters for a full quarter prior to it's use."
The two docks in question, a D2 and a D1, would currently have a value of 5 IP total. Converting such to floating dry docks at the stated cost of floating dry docks would allow you to have a floating D2 and D1 dock at Crozet Island and still be in pocket for IPs to spend on additional docks.
Or, in your proposal, do you merely wish to declare the D2 and D1 docks in question as floating dry docks and not convert the theoretical 'surplus' into additional docks.
If the first, I would hesitate; if the second, I would give a qualified yes.

Neither: I want to turn the D1 and the D2 into floating drydocks of equivalent IP value. The IP was, after all, spent there at startup, and I don't really feel that having Worth-in-IP go and vanish would be correct and proper procedure. I might even argue that, by requesting they be turned into floating drydocks, it's still a decrease in overall value as floating drydocks can only repair or give a major refit.

I agree with you that the infrastructure was most likely placed there without full knowledge of the local conditions. The existance of a permanent naval dockyard in that location is not logical. In this instance I would agree that relocation or conversion of the infrastructure in question is logical. I would therefore agree to your proposal in this instance.
However, I think this should not be setting a precedent, and that we as players need to examine any future requests by any player to adjust 'oddities' in infrastructure on a case-by-case basis.

I still strongly prefer to switch them to floating drydocks. It will explain why the drydocks are sitting there at Crozet, and it still provides me with the opportunity to move them without retconning them away to some other location.

I can endorse moving them somewhere else in the region with a handwave for common sense purposes, but I can't really get behind altering the gameplay mechanics like your preferred option would do.

I second that. Move them in the region. A conversion I cannot support for the reasons already presented.

Yeah, I have Kerguelen, which has the same population issues. Everything else that was historically French was taken by the SAE.
