Hello Christopher, I completely understand your pessimism on this process, in fact, I shared it but, I can testify that it works.
The odds of things kind of going hay-wire are greatly increased if you downgraded or switched to a public release on a device that was used in a beta, without using the method I posted. Remember, the key here is to set the device up, complete with activation, as a new device. Just so you know, since you intend to eventually restore your device from a backup, when setting up the phone as a new device, you can skip many of the setup steps such as entering WiFi passwords, setting up iCloud, etc. All of these items will be restored upon restoration from the backup. The only thing you want to do is to receive an incoming call on the newly restored phone, with a headset attached, in order to verify that the problem has been resolved. Now, let me add one more ingredient to the troubleshooting soup, as it were (smile). While highly unlikely, it is possible that you downloaded a corrupted version of iOS 9.1. I know Apple loves to claim that such things don't happen but, take it from me, they do, albeit rarely. Therefore, as a last resort, should the steps I posted do not resolve your issue, then you will want to repeat the process only first have iTunes re-download a fresh copy of the .IPSW file, before installing. Before I performed the steps previously posted, I chose to force iTunes to download a fresh copy of the .IPSW file, before I began. I like to always plan for the worse-case scenario (smile). In order to force iTunes to download a fresh copy of the .IPSW file, all you need do is to delete the current copy from your computer, before launching iTunes. The location of the file differs between the Mac and Windows so you can Google the file location or, if you are using Windows, let me know and I'll look up the exact folder location for you.

I'm also running IOS 9.1, and I participated in the IOS 9.1 beta since I didn't figure I had anything to lose. I'm not optimistic this will solve the problem, but I'll give it a try.
