Now don't groan!
A comment on from a random on my cryogenic paradox blog post led me on a google-chase to this forum thread - still in progress - which appears to reveal that my paradox (a version thereof) is a known thought-experiment used to disprove materialism, given the acceptance of certain computational premises (I think, more or less, that a brain can be simulated as a computer). Thank Christ, I'm not alone in seeing a major problem here! Read or don't read, but I couldn't resist passing on the link.
