Sure looks like it Brian, apart from one member who found a twisted pin in the tps connector, had the same or similar idle issue and corrected it by looking at it very closely and then correctly re-inserted the pin in the connector, that may be worth a look in your case because it is easy to do, just make sure your tps cable is long enough so the connector does not get stressed when it is unplugged, you may have to take off the left tb plastic cover off to ease the cable out a bit.
all other cases have been solved by replacing the iacv, i do find it odd that the idle increased when the iacv was re connected, you observed something that we have not heard of before.
And like i mentioned before we don't know why the iacv misbehaves, it does not appear to be stuck or dirty, all we know is that if it is replaced the mysterious effect goes away and we have tried numerous things that could have had an influence on the idle rpm, none fixed it and replacing the iacv did!
The first confirmed case was Riko from Belgium, he had his entire throttle body replaced which is the recommended Honda cure and it did solve it completely, there were only two electrical parts on the tb, the tps and the iacv, so we eliminated the tps and the only thing left was the iacv to make a long story short.
It seems you are the type of guy that can handle this kind of job, it might be an idea to take some key pictures and do a brief description of what is involved so others can use this in the future.
Aloha and thanks for the precise feedback.
