MADT is the name of the table (Multiple APIC Descriptor Table or some
such), but "APIC" is the 4 character signature of the MADT, hence
seeing 'APIC' output from acpidump -t when looking at the MADT.
Similarly, the MP Table is known as the MP Table, but the signature for
the table that you search for in the BIOS is "_MP_".

Nothing strange here, and it is giving a 64-bit PA for the I/O APIC,
albeit one that is < 4GB. One thing to verify is that the physical
addresses listed here for the APICs (0xfec00000 and 0xfee00000) aren't
included in the SMAP as valid RAM addresses in both cases. It might be
useful to boot an i386 CD with 8GB in the machine to see if the MADT
looks any different in that case.
