You get the Spot-On Armchair Diagnosis Award today! Turns out the full rear position movement somehow snagged some wiring, not pulling it completely out, but loosening the connection. Wiring harness was "repositioned/repaired" and new bolts installed when seat was reinstalled in the vehicle.

If this happens to anyone else after a full rear travel, you have the leading suspect identified!
