In any case, I believe my initial request can be considered "SOLVED" for the purposes of the thread title.
As far as I know it's not possible to clear NV if the system won't boot, but maybe kunix, Caty or Loly knows a way using a command from the media card. I get a bit paranoid when the term clear and erase are used interchangeably regarding non-volatile memory btw. It can create the impression that they are one and the same, but it depends on context what's meant. The usual interpretation of 'clear nonvol' is in the sense of that which is done in the hidden menu accessible via the speedo, and that's relatively harmless, just a comprehensive hard reset if you like. Erasing rgn41 of NV is a big deal as you found out, particularly if there is no good or repairable backup available. It's a method of last resort generally.

Agreed your original problem is solved, thread marked accordingly.
