After the uninstall, did you remove the Kobo database on the PC? It's possible this has the bad book details and is keeping it around.
In any case, could I get a copy of the database from the device and the PC? I would like to look at them to see if I can work out what is up. They will be a few meg in size, so if you can upload them somewhere I can get them from, or PM me for my email address.

I had assumed that simply running the uninstaller would completely remove the Kobo files. Just to be sure I used Revo Uninstaller to remove the desktop app (it searches the registry and file system for leftovers) and reset the reader once more. This time, when I completed the update and sync, I no longer have the false book.
It appears that the fake-book error was also causing the sideloaded epubs to be undisplayable; I can now read them again as usual. I have no idea why they would be effected by an error on a separate book, but to all appearances, the problems all stemmed from that book. I'm still a bit suspicious that the book might show up again, but until it does, my reader is working properly once more.
Thank you for all your help, suggestions, and patience.
