I have a board house I'd recommend, MEI mei4pcbs.com, that has done fine PWB tolerances for me in the past (not specifically .5 mm BGA). They say they have done .5mm before, and their engineering staff is usually on top of things. I've had my projects' boards done by 4 different board houses in the last couple years, and this is the only one I have found that I'd consider for .5 mm BGA's. I know of a .5 or .8 mm Altera done by an associate. If MEI doesn't pan out, shoot me an email and I'll see if I can track down another.
