Can't add related entities in CRM 3.0

The story so far:

• A couple weeks ago, a field completely disappeared from the AccountExtensionBase table but remained in the Account and FilteredAccount views. This caused the Main Info form in CRM itself (which draws from that table) to stop working completely.

• To fix the above, I manually removed said field from the definitions of said views, and I edited the Main Info form to no longer reference the missing field.

That left in more-or-less working condition. The only thing that's still broken is adding related entities from an already-open Main Info form. When I try, it throws exception 0x80044150. After learning this, I manually removed the field from the METABASE database and manually removed all references to it in the OrganizationUIBase table. Nothing. CRM won't let me just recreate the field, and I also can't seem to convince it to actually write to the trace log so I can get any more information about what's going on. I know this sometimes comes up when you exceed the 2155 option limit for picklist fields within an entity, but I don't think that's it, because the first thing I tried when the original issue manifested itself was to remove two entire picklist fields that were no longer needed, and that clearly hasn't helped.

So any ideas about what could be causing this, or what I can do to fix it, or even what a possible next step might be? I'm kind of stumped here.

Edit: got the trace logging to work...

This might be the more useful error report, actually. The above showed up twice, but this one is getting thrown scores of times every minute:

Lots of different users show up in the last line. Anything?

It sounds like you are making unsupported direct SQL modifications to the database. If that is the cause of the errors, you are likely in trouble. You say tracing will not turn on, did you add the following keys to the registry and perform IIS reset? - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907490

EDIT:

Can you run the following query replacing the database name with that from your instance and let me know if a privilege comes up. You are likely missing that privilege for the users security role for whom it is throwing that error.

    SELECT [PrivilegeId]
      ,[Name]
      ,[CanBeLocal]
      ,[CanBeDeep]
      ,[VersionNumber]
      ,[CanBeGlobal]
      ,[CanBeBasic]
      ,[AccessRight]
      ,[IsDisabledWhenIntegrated]
  FROM [MyCrmDatabase_MSCRM].[dbo].[PrivilegeBase]
  WHERE privilegeid='9f2b415e-8a0c-430c-bdd1-ad2052b86b02'
