After all I've done so far, I'm feeling very discouraged. The results are terrible. Here's an 8-sec sample of my encoded output:

If you download and play it (I use VLC), the removal is worse (more distracting) than seeing the original logo-and-text.

My initial suspicion is that it's the inpainting. (AlphaToRepair, after testing various values, was the default of 130.) While it got rid of the stray colors, it apparently stole too much from other areas.

I ran through my 9000 frame sample using RmLogo's debug rather thoroughly, I thought. I guess one really has to look at a whole-frame view and fully rendered and watch it at live speed. Maybe deblend-only, while it would leave very visible artifacts, would be much less distracting that the monstrosity I just shared.

On the upside, maybe I just invented a new special effect.

Could you all (whoever is inclined) download my 8-sec sample, view it (at normal speed, which will be 60fps), and give your thoughts about what should be done differently?
