The incident mention in the quote got me wondering why that wall wart would no longer work, so, with only a little difficulty, I managed to open the case and discovered....a glass-encased fuse, similar to those formerly used in automobiles, which the short caused when the two wires touched, blew the fuse.
I unsoldered it from the circuit board, and replaced it with...an automotive fuse of similar rating. It's now functioning as before.
