Thanks for all the help on this - I got the lobe off fine. The indexing pin is okay, and I found the problem: the flexible contact has failed, broken on one leaf, and the middle is about to fall out too. I couldn't see it before due to grease flicked up around the primary drive.
Looks like I'll have to search around for a neutral switch.
While I had it open, I also noticed a questionable repair - the shifter shaft has a hose clamp against a large flat washer, right where it meets the crankcase. I tried having a look in the parts manual, but for the life of me I can't get a good look at what parts are supposed to be there.
What I have right now on the shifter shaft (left to right order):
[Shifter]
{Sidecover}
[Loose Circlip (sliding free)]
[Loose tube bushing (sliding free)]
[Hose clamp]
[Large washer (slighly distorted)]
and, assuming there's nothing hiding behind the washer,
[Crankcase]
