I have found a workaround, and appear to have repaired my original user
account's settings. I found by comparing the various settings files and
folders that the bad user had a file named ~/.config/monitors.xml but
the newly created and usable user did not.

Renaming that file was sufficient to allow my bad user to log into GNOME
again.

I've attached the offending file so that further investigation can focus
on why this configuration file causes the GNOME session to not start
successfully. Aside from the fact that it appears to indicate that I
have two monitors of differing resolutions located on top of each other,
I'm not sure what is wrong. If the content is bad, then GNOME should
have rejected it and used some sensible fallback configuration. At
minimum, it should have logged the problem somewhere.
