Just to follow up.  I had it towed to NEA. They pushed it into their
bay, charged the battery, turned the key and Vroom!  Did it a bunch more
times.  Let it sit for 2 days, and it started right up again.

So, it fixed itself.  I'm waiting for it to happen again before I pick
up my new-to-me A4 Avant.
