When I try to reboot on the commandline,  I'm told that this instance 
can't be rebooted
because it is in the 'stopped' state.  I did a 'start' on it rather than 
a 'reboot'
and it has accepted that and is now up and running.

The bad news is that the 'start' command is not currently available to 
non-Ops.
The good news is that my primary project right now is making a greater range
of OpenStack commands publicly available via Horizon.  So, in short, you 
couldn't
have fixed this yourself today, but should be able to deal with similar 
issues yourself
in a month or two.

Let me know if you have any other problems in the meantime!
