I can't say for sure, but I'd guess the 1/2 transaction was added so that Goodman will not appear at all for CHA in 1962 (in case the 4/3 transaction does not trigger for some reason -- which, in fact, might be what happened once upon a time, thus the need for the additional transaction). But that's only a guess. Regardless, I don't see how Goodman would be available for HOU those five weeks at the start of the season.

Create a historical season for 1962, Replay Mode, accept all defaults. Start the game and look at the Houston roster. Billy Goodman is right there.

Jim Busby and George Brunet are two other players who begin on the Houston roster but they get moved to their proper location on Opening Day and then return to Houston later in the season. Billy Goodman should be getting released like Busby, but he doesn't
