A few days back I posted this. No one replied and all my Google foo couldn't bring up a solution, so I mucked in and played with a few things until I hit on the solution. It was a corrupt ntuser.dat (these things are often simpler than they appear). So I created a new user and replaced the corrupt one with the fresh one from that account and restarted.

Fixed. Yay.
