So, does Psystar have this OS running off the distribution disk, or do they copy the OS to a non-”Apple-labeled” PC hard-drive and run it from there. If so, that would be an unauthorized copy, wouldn’t it?

Only if that copy of the OS was copied in a manner that infringed on Apple's copyright. Assuming that Psystar went to an Apple retailer and legitimately bought a bunch of copies of the OS and installed each copy on a separate computer then this is not the case.
