I tired one more thing - restoring without using my apple account. It works fine. Soon as I log in it goes back to searching. Restoring from icloud backups or itunes yields the same results. Verified on both iPhone SE's, issue replicates easily. Crazy. I have a slot of stuff in the itunes account/icloud, but looks like I have to let it go. Crap. But the phone's working normally on an alternate account. So...yay?
