what brought this up?

Knowledge that Harry is a Horcrux, plus Harry's recitation of his encounter with Lucius, are sufficient to deduce that Lucius thinks Harry=Voldemort. So, "Dumbledore doesn't appear to know this during the trial" is not evidence for or against "Dumbledore overheard Harry-Lucius conversation".

Dumbledore implied to McGonagall that there was only one Horcrux.

He only implied there was one that needs to be found.

And the trial: Dumbledore seemed to be basing his actions on a rather bad model of Lucius.

Could you show specific bad actions that Dumbledore would perform differently if he knew Lucius' thoughts about Harry (assuming he actually didn't)?

...Oh.

You know, reading back through, I actually can't. So, um, nevermind then.
