The camera should be arriving soon, but I've just ordered the flash, so it might take a while.
I appreciate the offer, thanks.
I'm ordering one myself but away for a while.
See attatchment.
I suspect from the size that 1 and 4 are power connections.
2 and 3 i suspect are trigger via an opto isolator.
4 and 5 being start charge input and charged output.
Seeing the circuit would help , getting the supply right and correct polarity is the most important bit.
Poking around with a dmm after that should be fairly safe way of sorting out whats what
Do these modules also include a focus assist LED as this would account for one of the contacts.
The flash in the Lumia 1020 is controlled over I2C-bus and triggered with a GPIO-pin.
If you have a working phone you can sniff the communication that tells the module to power on etc.
Without that, not much doing unfortunately 
Be warned that the I2C-bus is probably one that works at 1.8V, 2.5V or the like.

Thats annoying.
At least we know the pinout though.
Yeah, that's not very good news.
Fortunately it's not a proprietary protocol.
Unfortunately I don't have a phone or a logic analyzer. Now at least I have a good reason to buy the latter, and I suppose I'll manage to do something about the former.
Thank you anyway.

You will need the phone to find out what commands it sends to the flash. Trying to get it working without the phone will be an exercise in futility.

I was thinking of asking somebody in Nokia/Microsoft if they'd be kind enough to tell me.

Yeah. As if!
I know it's a long shot, in the dark, with hurricane-like crosswinds, over the shoulder, from a moving dune buggy, but considering the effort and cost involved in writing an email, there is no reason not to try it.
You are correct. But you will never get that kind of information. I have been at Nokia HQ in Denmark a few years ago. Documentation is kept well secret to not help out competitors. There is a reason that all service manuals is obtained via "grey" channels.
