Are you saying that the Nokia N900 data is backed up to the Nokia phone storage? And by implication this backup does not get overwritten during a firmware update?
If you want to erease the flash you need to that in a different way.

No sign of /backup/ right of the root of my PC hard drive (there is no N900 folder on my PC).
I've done a search for "backup" of both my C and D drives with nothing to indicate a backup of my N900 data.
1. Take an USB cord.
2. Connect your N900 to the computer.
3. Select "Mass Storage Mode" on the pop-up prompt on you N900.
4. Open My Computer on your computer.
5. Explore the correct drive.

Yes. Mine shows up in My Computer as Removable Disk (G
for the phone and Removable Disk (F for the memory card. The G: drive icon even looks like the N900. When I open G:, the Backups directory is right there.
The forgetful-when-battery-is-removed thing is puzzling though.

Yeah, must be, yours didnt come with a Backup program or a UPC port, and the battery doesn't work.

Throw a live linux distro on a thumb drive or cd and see if that works for you.

How long you had your N900? because many weird and wonderful things can happen if the fw is not right, sounds to me like it only requires a flash and for that all you need to do is follow the flash instructions then all will be ok.
Follow the instructions in this link,

Your symptoms sound like it only needs the fw flashed and start over after that.
