The strange thing here is, I had the power hooked to this breakout device I slapped together that tests voltage/amperage and it never, ever dipped below 5v. That's why I dismissed this first, since it was the first thing that I tried. Oh well.

great
I was writing about this power cables months and months ago

And thats why we and everybody alway recommend start troubleshooting from RPi power source and always make sure that anything plugged into the USB ports has own power source or go through powered USB Hub no matter what and how small the device is.

So as your issue is resolved I would like to as you to edid your 1st post and change the thread prefix to Solved,you find this option on top left when you go full edit the post
-thx-

yeah, strange things happen sometimes with RPi..
Like I have 2.5A PSU without cable(its just a plug with 2xUSB ports) but when I use it with USB cable from Kindle I constantly loosing LAN connection (due to power issue) where with other cable like from HTC phone all is fine. It took me back than about 2 weeks to figured this out
