about 5-6 years after the fact... is it possible that someone in the know explain the actual reason of Andy Paley's estrangement as a songwriting partner / band member?

First off, there was not one estrangement. There have been at least three. So it's not an uncommon thing.
First, of course, the two stopped has stopped collaborating after BW88. BW resumed the collaboration in 92, after Landy left.
Second, the two stopped active work in the late 90s, when Brian started working first with Tony Asher and then with Joe Thomas.
Andy was back in the picture by 2000 (I think he's in a RS profile of BW from that year) and then filled in on percussion after Mikey D. departed. He was with the touring band for a year or two -- so actually he's been out of picture since 01 or 02, at which point Nelson Bragg came in.
They have collaborated since then. It's not like either has been in prison or anything. A SpongeBob album from '06 produced by Andy has Brian on backgrounds.
I've heard various things about why Andy left the road -- there are at least two different stories. But let's put it this way -- most conflicts in the music business (and life!) come down to two things -- ego and money.

Did I hear that Andy Paley has since passed away?
Speaking of prison, any chance of Charles Manson and a Phil Spector collaboration?

In a manner of speaking, but not literally.

Published June 25, 2010. Heather L. Crist and Andrew Paley were married Saturday evening at Prairie View Church of the Brethren in Scott City, Kan. Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator who is the president of the New School in New York, a minister with Universal Ministries and a brother-in-law of the bridegroom, officiated.

I think Brian and Andy worked very well together, and I think it's a shame they don't work together more often. I remember reading a Goldmine article awhile back where they were in the studio and bouncing a lot of ideas off of one another like crazy. I mean,
really
productive, and experimenting with different sounds and Brian was really going at it and being stimulated. The two seemed to really be in sync and making a lot of good music. Then Andy was gone again.
Then I read that someone interviewed Andy and asked him about the '96 Wilson/Paley sessions and specifically how much of it was actually him and how much was Brian. Andy didn't give a clear cut answer, but the impression I got was that most of it may have been Andy. Maybe that's why we've only seen a couple of songs/fragments released from those sessions (or no?)
I always wondered why Andy started the, I think it was the '98 or '99 tour, and playing and singing on stage, then he was no longer touring. I heard at the time that there was a falling out of some sort - maybe Melinda was involved? And I think I saw Andy on stage after that and he was kind of in the back with a tamborine and singing background vocals. I know Scott Bennett has been a good colaborator for Brian recently, but I'd sure like to see Brian and Andy have a few more studio sessions together.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Actually, Andy filled in for an ill Darian Sahanaja on keyboards & vibes for a show or two in 2000 (in Hawaii, I believe). Then he substituted for Mikey D. on percussion for the Paul Simon tour in 2001 and the early 2002 European Pet Sounds tour. Mikey was back for the summer 2002 European Pet Sounds tour, and probably the later 2002 shows...Mikey was definitely present for the 2003 shows, and then Nelson took over for SMiLE in 2004.
