> still some bastion of Xpostfacto on my System 9 drive
XPostFacto does install some NVRAM patches that could affect your Mac in some unforeseen way, but so far as I know, except for the XPostFacto control panel there's nothing else installed under OS 9 and when you zapped PRAM you got rid of the NVRAM patches.
If you trash the XPostFacto control panel there's nothing left from it (under OS 9) to cause any problems.
Before you trash it, however, I should point out that it is a perfectly useful Startup Disk control panel in and of itself without installing any of the OS X patches and you may have better luck using XPF than you do with the OS 9 Startup Disk control panel.
BTW: What version of OS 9 are you running? I have found that the Startup Disk control panel from OS 9.1 is hit or miss at setting an OS X Startup Disk on some Macs where the control panel from 9.2.2 works very well.
