The V1 ProVari would read it as 1.5 and the V2 ProVari would correctly read it as two 1.5 coils. Or something like that, I know the V2 upgrade addressed the dual coil issue people were having with the V1's.

How would it read it as "two?" Would the display some 3.0 ohms? (Forgive my cluelessness, I still don't quite get the point of dual coils, despite reading post after post about them and watching videos.)

They are 2 3ohm coils in parallel, which brings overall resistance to 1.5 . If you can push 4.5v+ on them there ok...... but use any less voltage and vapor is not good. In other words you're resistance is 1.5 ohms but you need to be able to push 3 ohm type voltages to get any good vapor, and some devices do not due that well due to amp/watt limitations.

I've not been interested in trying a dual coil, but I'm curious about how the ProVari would read the resistance. If you put on a 1.5 ohms dual coil carto on, what would the Ao screen say?

It'll read 1.5 ohms... A 1.5 cd is actually two 3 ohm coils running in parallel.
