There is a failure of logic here somewhere.  Windows from factory are 
filled with dry air or a heavy gas like Argon.  The seal is nearly 100%. 
  No condensation is observed.  A small leak develops and at some point, 
condensation is observed.  A slightly larger leak is installed and the 
condensation goes away, permanently?  I find it hard to believe that 
condensation can't happen still.  It's not like the very slow leak would 
concentrate the water vapor inside the panes.  It simply acts as a low 
pass filter giving a DC value of the signal with the AC component 
largely removed.  The hole in the glass changes the time constant 
allowing the water vapor to leave, but only very slowly.  When 
temperature changes more rapidly condensation will continue to form.

There was enough heat conduction to condense inside the window before 
the hole was drilled.  Drilling the hole will only impact the RC time 
constant of the water vapor levels inside the window.

The heat conduction is not related to your issue.  The inside of the 
outer pane will be colder than the inside of a single pane glass.  So if 
there is water vapor inside the window it will condense.
