Help Most Mysterious & Perplexing

My Incredible woke up yesterday with what seems like some kind of system-wide problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to give as much info as possible. The symptoms:

--Gmail & Facebook required me to login as tho it were the 1st time; a couple other apps act as tho I've just downloaded them; market even greets me w/the terms of service page; bookmarks are gone.
--Some settings have reverted to default, including ringtones. Also native SMS notifications have come back, tho I've disabled since I have Handcent; same thing w/Weatherbug notifications.
--A bunch of apps forceclose immediately upon opening (Ak Notepad, xScope Browser, Astrid, Mint, Pandora, WidgetLocker. I'm sure there's others.
--But these apps are all ok: Handcent, exchange email, camera, Yelp, Facebook (now that I've logged in), native browser. Again, I'm sure there's others.

I've tried rebooting and did a couple battery pulls but no dice. Any ideas?

Thanks a billion for any thoughts,

Vexed & Perplexed
 
I think you have traveled back in time...

Seriously, I wonder if it stores this user data on the SD Card when available? I'd throw in a spare if you have it, set a few of these apps up again and try relaunching them. I think it's either a corrupt file or corrupt storage. If it's the second one, I would suggest warrantying it. If you are able to reproduce this every time, then the store reps won't be able to argue with you.
