So I brought it to the dealer, explained my situation, and they at first didn't really know what to do. So the service manager was called over, and I explained again, he basically said it isn't a module you can turn on or off, and that Ford themselves would control most of the codes, but he was very curious about the vehicle, and decided to grab a computer, hook it up and see what he could do. This is him on the computer, after it first getting connected:
He went through, and didn't see anything of note that included the third row. He started to disconnect everything, and I asked: "What if we just reboot (not a reboot, like disconnect the battery, but a reset of the computer itself, and its memory) the SJB/GEM?" He said that would be fine, warned me of the risks, but reconnected, and did that. I heard the SJB make all sorts of clicking noises (relays), and this is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. We opened the rear hatch, to see if that did the job...
AND IT DID!

An hour later, after buttoning up the wiring, here is the install before reassembly and install of the seats:
