In the meantime I just made a throwaway Kobo account on my throwaway e-mail address to sate the requirement.

In terms of troubleshooting, even after doing a Factory Reset -Skip, I had the problems, and I mean factory reset on the system itself through the hardware reset option. I tried downgrading - Skip and no luck. I'm not going to monkey around with it too much (other than doing an image of the SD card right now in its current state, and then maybe a factory reset - register - No files messed around with). I need the Clara HD because I'm using the Clara Bookcover which holds it in the perfect position for me to take notes from my textbooks.

I don't like the registering because I don't plan on every buying books through Kobo. I'm getting my books through Humble Bundle ePubs to give me the most access to them; I loathe DRM and do what I can to avoid it. I picked up the Clara HD and... Aura? dirt cheap, so I will make do with them what I can.

My hypothesis is that Wifi was on and I forgot to turn off updates and got smacked with one of those firmware updates. Either way, I thank you for all the assistance!
Given that you do not like DRM, you can setup Calibre to remove DRM. Install ADE 2.0.1 for download ePub with DRM. Then go to Apprentice Alf's blog and download the appropriate version of DeDRM for the version of Calibre you have installed. If you need help getting set up, ask at the blog in the comments and you'll get the help you need. I cannot give any more help out in the open on Mobileread.
