I deleted it and rebooted: the updated kernel then seems to have modprobe'd nouveau about 1/3 of the way through the text-based progress bar and X.org did then use the Nouveau driver, use the correct resolution, etc. > > The text-based progress bar still bugged me though so I tried removing the latest kernel again and re-installing it.

The reason removing and re-installing the new kernel got it working is that during that process "dracut" is run to generate a new initramfs which would still have the blacklist. You could have manually run "dracut" and fixed it that way as well.
