Some incorrect statements... Canon representatives already said Canon was working on an EVIL before the G1 X was announced. You assume that the M got the 650D sensor, but probably it is the other way around.
The M 18-55 IS STM clearly is not a "revamped EF-S 18-55 IS kit lens". The distance from back element to sensor is a LOT smaller. This means that the optics have to be a total redesign.
They do not even have one single element similar, let alone any groups:

The resulting MTFs also are very different.

thanks for the correction. Since the new 18-55 looked so slim and long, I jumped to conclusions without checking.
