OK, post #4 of 5!...back to the 4k RPM limit problem.
So I shifted into first and gave it about 33% throttle: the engine kept going straight to the redline. On another run, I found that if I lift off the throttle at 4-4.5k rpm (still in first gear), the car starts bucking, rpms flick between 3.9k and 4.2k in time with the bucking before dropping, and no amount of throttle gets the rpms past 4k again. It reminds me of a time when I tried shifting in a friend's SVT Contour with a botched clutch replacement: it bucked in nearly the same way.
Anybody got an explanation for this?
