Hi guys; a quick update. After 5 long months, I got the car out last week. Went in, re-installed the battery, it fired up right away. Other than needing to reset the power windows (PITA by the way), and setting the clock, so far everything else is OK. The radio seems to remember presets too.

So, from my experience, there is no "Transport Mode" issue with completely disconnecting the battery for extended periods.

As for the power windows, I tried at least a dozen times, got the passenger one working, but the driver's side was wonky---even completely unresponsive at times. Turned it off and let the car sit a few minutes, then tried with the car running, and finally got the driver's side. The procedure written above works, but seems finicky.
