It would appear that I've cooked the iMac.
Turns out a 12 year old, sealed computer is likely to get filled up with dust that gently cooks the thermal paste into uselessness. According to smartmontools, the SSD is hitting 87⁰C, which is Quite Warm.
It won't output to the second display, boots to GRUB *really* slowly, and is generally acting fucky. So this weekend I'll get to crack 'er open and give 'er a bit of spit and polish.
