Dear Sean, I like your derivation. It appears to be another indication of the resonance giving stability to the electron at a specific "size". A similar exercise gives its angular momentum to be 1/2 that of the photon simultaneously forming it and the positron.
I think of a sphere of the classical radius (~2.8 fm) as enclosing some large percentage of the electron mass (its electromagnetic energy) and that of the 386 fm radius (the reduced deBroglie wavelength and the wavelength of the 511 keV photon forming it) as being the range of the potential where it is reduced to some small value of the electron's maximum electrostatic potential.
