Rob,
I didnt find this in my experience. The ignition did not need to be reset.
I tested this with a series of bulbs, so no stat. When the switch cut out after about 15 mins, I was immediately able to switch it back on to illuminate the bulbs.

Yes, I found your how-to invaluable.
Its one of those jobs that requires a knack of knowing just how much pressure and at what angle the clip removal tool or screwdriver needs to be to release the clips. Much easier on the second seat.

I could possibly host this under cover if it's only a few.
More of a pico-meet really.

But I don't know if you want to travel so far.

Oh! just thought, the world famous Fleece Inn at Bretforton is only a couple of minutes away.
