Ok, thanks to help from Google and Alterego on #maemo, I figured it out!
It seems that in order to make a working console, I needed to run it through getty.
So, my final line was:
"busybox getty 115200 tty0 sh", and I got a console login!

I'll add my own comment to the bug whenever I remember what my username and password there were.

Technically, one of the Nokians on the bug page did say there's an informal acceptance of amongst-N900-users sharing of modified Nokia-copyrighted things. The problem is that that refers to R&D type stuff, which is great for us zealous power users trying to develop some cutting-edge feature, but isn't great for N900 end-users as a whole, who might benefit from and want a stereotypically 'power-user' feature like a root shell at boot, but who don't have the tech-savvy to R&D it and/or who don't use this forum enough to stumble upon it.

I see no legal reason that a diff can't be created and packaged in order to patch in the changes when installed on the device.
None of the existing code is touched, the modified files stay on each user's device at their own discretion and the patch file contains nothing copywritten by Nokia.

Also, did the previous version work for you? Are you using any other in-/sbin/preinit modifications?
Are you certain you typed everything literally correctly? It's possible you made a typo in one of the driver names... I don't know. I certainly know the pain of reflashing and restoring stuff (although I don't regularly back up the entire rootfs/opt... or ever, really - so I manually reinstall stuff, but the point is I get that it's inconvenient to fiddle to get something working, so my apologies for that, if I typed something wrong in my instructions....
