I read your post and understood it all until you said "MovableType, the
current frontrunner" which threw me somewhat. Is MT a content management
system...?  

I was about to suggest something like Bricolage:

It won't do faceted navigation out of the box, but I think it would be
reasonably easy to hack that in - maybe with XFML?
