<<Does that mean a single cheit, or is it literal -- he only brings one

qorban because he only had one forgetting ("shegegah")?>>

I think your distinction is forced.  If each action is a new heit why shouldn't there be a new korban? The Rambam purports to answer that, but, on your reading, he doesn't.

<<I would like to say that the real cheit is actually the crime of neglect
implied by forgetting, not the act done beshogeig. But it's a claim
that I would like more solid grounding for.>>

See Ramban, Toras HaAdam, ed. Chavel, p. 270 (start at line 11 "keitzad, harei she'achal helev b'shogeig ff.").
