Hi:

Actually, your situation is a FAQ on some of the Immigration Bar
chatboards. The law DOES allow for conversion on a pending I-130 -- but
from one valid classification to another.

So, lets vary your facts a little -- The "FB-2B" I-130 is pending. Dad
naturalizes -- I-130 converted to FB-1. Son THEN marries -- I-130
converts to FB-3. Son then divorces -- I-130 converts back to FB-1.

Unfortunately -- in your brother's classfication -- The FB-2B I-130 was
pending. Son married -- the I-130 had no valid classification to
convert to -- so it figuratively died.

CIS approved the petition in error -- an approved petition does NOT
guarantee status -- if the Consulate discovers an erroneously approved
petition, no visa will be issued. Even if visa was issued, if the error
is discovered at the Port of Entry -- the applicant be refused
admission. If the error is discovered after admission, the alien is
subject to removal for being inadmissible at time of entry. [There is
case law on situations where beneficiary immigrates after petitioner is
deceased -- sometimes after visa issuance but before entry -- the only
waiver of that is if the immigrant did not know and couldn't have known
-- e.g. the petitioner was killed in an auto accident on the way to the
airport.].
