The current hypothesis is that doing all of that drops the available/remaining voltage low enough to reset the computer. New/higher capacity battery stops this from happening.
If that doesn't fix it, then there a number of other things that it could be which increase in difficulty/expense to repair. At which point I'm going back and hoofing the dealer in the clackers.

On fuel injected car, the fuel injection needs to be powered before the car will start. That is before the starter motor is engaged. Seems counter intuitive.
My panda experience has been replacing the rear suspension beam with one from a Ford KA. Also looking at the power steering motor replacement and how to get it to work.
There is some free FiatOBD software out there.
