Just to update anyone that is following this thread, finally, after three weeks, I've now got my car back complete with a new gearbox and reversing light switch - thankfully all covered by Porsche's warranty. We've had a few very cold mornings this week and, touch wood, so far the gearchange is now as it should be - positive and slick.
According to the service manager, the 2nd gear synchromesh was failing and on its way out. He mentioned that after stripping it down it was considered too costly to rebuild the 'box, hence the new unit. To the dealer's credit they provided me with a 2.7 987 Boxster with 1000 miles on the clock as a loan car which went some way to negating the grief with my car.
