Last night, about 4AM, I finally realized my stupid mistake. After every kernel recompile I hadn't been rebuilding the NVIDIA_GLX and NVIDIA_kernel packages. It seemed to be about 50/50 whether or not it would actually work. This explained why adding a seemingly innocuous option would stop X from starting. No framebuffer, but at least accidentally pressing a CTRL/Fkey won't require a reboot. I'll start experimenting with SVGATextMode later.
