When I first heard of this, I had a thought for a 4th explanation:
It seems likely, given everything we know, that neutrinos have a
very-small, but non-zero mass. Part of the point of this experiment
was to try to get a better idea of what what mass is. We've always
assumed it was very small, non-zero and positive. What happens if it's
very-small, non-zero, and negative?

I like this one. Or what about an imaginary mass. in this case v would
always be above c.
The traditional formula would not make a speed difference due to the
sign of the mass, but imaginary mass would. That would be a bit of
extrapolation out of a single formula. Then again, so much of the
quantum world is a mix of read and imaginary numbers, so why not an odd
mass case. That would however change a lot, but it would indeed keep the
theoretical physics occupied quite a bit. That's the definition of the
experimental physics work-description... find out things for the
theorists to figure out... :)
