Update: pushed fixes to the addressing logic, big thanks to the two other people who tested it and motivated me to spend sixish hours tracking this down :D
Given a running old-venti on $http, _that only uses one index section and one arena partition_:
% hget $http/flushicache && hget $http/flushdcache
# Kill fossil somehow. Be very careful not to kill your rootfs!
# Kill venti, too.
% neoventi -c venti.conf
% fossil/fossil -f /path/to/fossil
Shooooould work, but there's still very much the potential for data loss, and it _will not_ work going back to venti, not 100% sure why. Venti seems to care about some part of the index entries I didn't bother writing, I think.
