Sounds like the site is having some general problem with this. I'd post more but it looks like I can't really add to how I already described the sequence. I suggest just keeping trying and you might get lucky like I did - I did just get an email notification about replies to this thread, so having a confirmed email address works now as I expected.

But if patience and retrying doesn't work, then it's a good idea to take Tupka217's suggestion above to reach out to Special:Contact. I would have done that eventually.
