well... as a last ditch effort I did a factory reset on the phone... that left the phone completely unbootable.
I then restored a nandroid backup from 2 days after I got the phone (apparently I should do backups more often!)
After restoring the backup the phone is completely working again.
So I don't know what originally caused the issue for me, but whatever it was must have been on my phone.
It seems that there are many different causes for this same problem, possibly as many as there are people reporting the issue. Unfortunately what works for 1 person rarely seems to work for the next, but I hope that someone finds the info useful.
