THAT my friend is a question I wish I could help you with, but honestly can't. My guess is, if they don't have stock for replacements, they should contact you after you make your genius bar appointment, but given the issues you described, if you end up going and they don't have a replacement in stock for you, I doubt you'll have wasted more than a few minutes before they let you know, and at that point, they'll probably offer to ship you one or call you when it's available.
And aside from that, it's very possible they have plenty of replacement stock...I just have no way to assure you of that unfortunately.
