Yup, realized that the day after I posted... Sorry 'bout that. Trying to figure out how else to approach this... As far as I can figure it out, registering does the following:

• adjusts rdbms_server_dn (and never restarts the instance...)
• adds some entries in OID
• creates a wallet (which is not used?)

The situation you're in is that your OID is gone, so no worries about any entries. Just reset rdbms_server_dn to an empty string, delete, or move, the wallet, and you should be done...
For purists, you might want to delete ldap.ora, and revert sqlnet.ora, but these only influence networking.

Somewhere along the line there must be another entry.
