Trying to identify some odd euro-thingie on my 125. Attached to the
frame rail on the right side (behind the rad shroud) is a little black
plastic box about half the size of a cigarette pack. There are two
yellow tubes that go from the box down to the carburetor. I didn't see
any other I/O (but I didn't really look very hard). What is it?

Jay,

Has to be carburetor vent tubes. Maybe a plenum chamber filled with foam?
If it were the California model, it would have a re-leaching chamber,
charcoal chamber and a lime pool down stream. Upstream is would have a
settling pool, a ganglia of tubes to steer the unburned hydrocarbons to
various places, depending on the engine temperature, ambient temperature
(STP), and a manifold complex gonglomeration of purge, pollution, and vapor
valves.

Jay,
Joe is correct.
One os the previous owners has run two of the carb's vent hoses up to
a box that they attached to the frame rail.

I did something similar, except that I just ran mine to the air box.

Does it actually do anything, or is this one of those crazy tricks that
allow riding while completely submerged?
