I'm not sure how to fix the problem, though, since in the absence of being able to enter letters or numbers, I can't revert to one of my backups.

EDIT: I managed to wipe the memory by taking the batteries out, then using SDRESTORE.

Incidentally, the option under ON-A-F to wipe the memory doesn't seem to work.

First, the crash:
Whenever you type a letter, newRPL asks every single library for suggestions, if your library wasn't there it could very well cause a crash. It shouldn't be that way, though. I'll investigate and add more robust protections so a bad library doesn't make the system unstable.
The fact your library appeared as a DIRobj means yes, somehow it got corrupted (since we couldn't read its name), I don't exactly know how or why that would happen, but the system should be able to remove the bad apple and keep the system working. I'll work on that.
Did you try a Warmstart first? A warmstart would reattach all libraries, so it could resolve the problem.

Last: On-A-F requires ALL 3 shift keys to be pressed simultaneously when you choose the "nuclear" option to wipe all memory. It's a feature that can save you a lot of grief.
