Well, I pretty much dismissed any notion that there is something wrong internally, or it would show up all the time, no?
I rode it hard for at least another two hours after this incident without so much as a hiccup or miss. If it was a bent valve, it would be bent permanently, wouldn't it?
As for the "cool down" period...it was maybe 5 minutes. Just long enough to remove an extra T-shirt and to take three photos.
When I went to start it up again, it still cranked over faster than normal, but started up quickly.
Vapour lock? (I did overfill the tank in anticipation of a LONG ride, and I did remove the gas cap to verify a fuel supply (rule #1))
