there a way to switch root back to my kernel's internal initramfs.
occasionally, i need to drop into that mode and the only way to do it
is to reboot the system, which is easy, of course, but it would be
cool if i didn't have to do that.

I am not sure what exactly you would want to do with this but pivot_root does the "rootfs" switching. Manual page http://linux.die.net/man/8/pivot_root can sort out some of your curiosity.
 

 i'm thinking the answer is no, but i'm willing to be pleasantly
surprised.
