Sorry, I should have requested that this bug be closed. I used dpkg to remove and purge the python package, then apt-get installed "ubuntu-desktop" which, aside from losing a very few custom settings, worked perfectly.
I don't know if that indicates a package corrupted during download, or if, by doing that, I "round-about" accomplished the same solution you mention in your comment. Either way, since I had to get my production server back up and running, I had to fix it, and there's no way for me to go back and debug now.
