I've run into the OP's problem occasionally, where a full rebase doesn't 
fix all rebase/fork problems.  What's worked for me on those occasions 
is to reboot the computer and then run a full rebase.  I once saw an 
explanation of why rebooting makes a difference, but I don't remember 
what it was.
