Ding dong the fan is dead!
Finally figured out how the effing thing was attached. Two flanges, accessible only from the attic space, and almost impossible to see if you don't know what you're looking for. And to top it off, it was nailed in, not screwed or bolted. So it took a whole lot of prying, cutting and swearing, but the blasted thing is down! Photos of the mangled wreck are forthcoming.
Tomorrow is the install of the new one. It looks theoretically straight forward, the most difficult part being resizing the hole in the ceiling. But I know better than to expect it to go well.
