Good news. I managed to get this out after sticking the bike, upside down in a vice, and using a length of 2x2 as a cheater bar between the forks to break the seal between steerer and stem. It sounded awful, like a ship's hull being torn apart against rocks, and was quite stressful, but thankfully after a lot of back and forth they came apart. In case anyone has to do this, I found it useful to have a hub between the dropouts, to keep the forks spaced and together whilst working it loose...
