With the perspective of a couple of days to think it over, it totally sounds like a headgasket issue. I think that I was a little guilty of thinking myself in knots to come up with a different explanation to avoid coming to that conclusion, particularly since my past experiences with head gasket issues (in different cars) were much different than this. Plus, putting in a new t-stat and not properly bleeding the system could, theoretically cause similar cooling issues, save for the hard smokey restart (which, of course hasn't happened since.)
Funny, I ordered a headgasket kit this winter, thinking that my blown upper radiator hose signalled a HG failure. It is sitting in the garage, ready to go, and it looks like that hose issue probably was the beginning of the issue.
