Thanks to all the folks who chimed in about recovering user-account files on OS X. Enabling the root user was indeed the solution that allowed me to access the user files -- while I haven't gone through all of them to see if any damage was done, they all were recovered without issue, and the drive reformatted.
Annoyingly, the whole mess was initiated by a standard system update from Apple which, in the years of running their updates, has never caused an issue. Guess it was bound to happen. Make backups of your stuff!
