That's a lot of different questions to answer / things to discuss.
I'll only address the easiest ones, below.

> * How do we best educate a WordPress themer (essentially the people
> we're trying to woo) to produce a Habari theme?

A translation guide would help, sure, but better yet is examples and
explanations of getting logic out of the templates and into functions.
Both resources somewhat already exist, and just need to be combined
into some central documentation. How about somebody does a blow-by-
blow of porting one of the newer popular WP themes?

> * How can we make the theme system more easily handle common theming tasks?

Determine those common theming tasks. I've not looked at the WP
theming community in a while. Ideally we round up a bunch of themers
and grill them for not just what they really want, but what they've
done to work around not being able to get it.

> * Is there a way to provide both WordPress and Drupal-style theme systems?

Plugin theme engines should be able to do this with some built-in
delay, at least for simpler WP themes. I've never themed Drupal.
Better yet would be a theme importer that would translate once, and if
something weird pops up, let the user see it (and hopefully fix it, or
provide a detailed source/trace for #habari to take a stab at it).

How about s9y? textpattern? Are there themes there that are also
interesting?
