If the Soyuz is fitted to dock with the ISS, how could it dock with the Columbia, which ISN'T fitted in a matching manner? I'd say that's relevent... :0)

That's new information that hadn't been brought out in this thread yet (your contention that Soyuz can't dock with Columbia). I said nothing about docking with Columbia in my original post; my idea would have been to transfer Columbia personnel in suits or those spiffy rescue bubbles I heard about years ago (but they probably didn't have aboard Columbia either) out Columbia's rear airlock to Soyuz. Soyuz couldn't get to Columbia to begin with, so its irrelevant and this discussion is pointless.
