The brakes work great now, too.
I might flip it back for fun just to see how it sounds on the original side again now.

Sometimes problem solving is amazingly simple. You didn't do anything to the joint or rim, but by running it in the right direction resolved the issue. I'd leave it as is, but remember that it's direction sensitive in case someone switches the skewer again.
