Keep in mind that neither of these last two links directly address the original question, as far as I can tell.  I didn't re-read the whole paper, but I don't recall it giving a count of generation transactions outstanding.

Also, with multi-output generation transactions (p2pool and others), the notion of "untouched" gets a little less clear.  I suppose you could add the outputs individually...

Is there a tally of "unmoved" Bitcoins (never moved after they were mined) somewhere?

Well, the data is in the block chain that everyone has.  I think some people pay attention to the early generation transactions and would mention it on the forums if they started moving, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual list or chart.

quite many early adopters sit on thousands of coins

they cash out, as soon as it makes them millionaires
Or (as I keep hearing over and over from early adopters who mined when they were worth nothing) most of those coins were deleted inadvertently, through formats of the hard drive, etc.

I know of at least one early adopter who has 250k coins, but beyond that, I am not certain who else holds a large number of them still.
