    Is there a downside to just re-"Protecting" the computers whose Sophos Update files were sent to the INFECTED dir, rather than restoring those files to the original directory?  Besides this not resolving the same issue with 3rd party updaters.  Will this even work?

    The only downside is increased network traffic. However, if this is the easiest option for you, then that would outweigh the network impact.
