I ended up restoring to an old backup, logging into my account, disabling the authenticator, restoring my phone to the newest backup, and re-enabling my authenticator. It's all good in the hood now.
I hope this helps anyone who finds themselves in this situation.
All in all, this took 2 hours (lots of apps and music)...you can probably save time by only having it sync the authenticator app after the first restore.

So I have an authenticator on my account (iPhone variety) and after a bad ios4 installation, I had to do a full rerset on my phone. I tried logging in today to find that (obviously) my authenticator is no longer tied to my account.
After firing off an email and hearing horror stories of people going 7+ days without a response, I tried calling, only to get told by an automated voice that the hold queue is full.
Really? Is therree no other way to get into my account now? Either wait until someone emails me back, or...what? I doubt that hold queue full message will go away anytime soon.
I guess I can restore my phone to an old backup with the borked ios4, deactivate the authenticator, reinstall the working os, then reactivate, but that is a lot of hoops to jump through for something that *might* work, if I e ven have that backup anymore.
Argh. Any advice?
