I've always found the Migration Assistant via networking to be somewhat flakey, and stick with Time Machine backups whenever I can't use Firewire.

I'd repair permissions on the G4 and then update its Time Machine backup (maybe even repair permissions on the backup if you can), then wipe the Air's drive and start over from scratch (if for no other reason, than just the sheer fun of using the Air's mega-cool USB restore drive) and use the Mig. Asst. on the first boot with the Time Machine drive.
