Normal service has been returned - Yast2 is back on air :-).

After much screwing around with zypper (and failing) I resorted to the tried 
and true rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <packages> and downgraded libqt4 (and 
associated packages/dependants) to 4.5.1, re-ran yast2 in ncurses mode to 
update the yast2 packages to the latest in factory-oss and it all works again 
:-).

Thanks David and Rajko. 

So, what is the lesson to be learned from this? Don't play around with beta 
software and factory repositories unless you're prepared to spend time fixing 
it when it breaks (which is actually really good learning time...).
