how the Spirit Monk purged their flaw
which I suspect would have been the main storyline of a beefier third/fourth act.

Honestly I'd love for EA to greenlight a remake of Jade Empire that tightened up the combat and switched out the party system for something more like the one in Mass Effect.

...darn it I've got it installed, I'm booting it up.
While it doesn't explain how you corrected it, remember that

the Super Demon boss you fight in the spirt world version of Dirge, the one attracted there by Emperor Sun Hai's atrocity, takes your form to fight you
so my headcanon is that's where you were able to see it and address it firsthand. AFAICR that's the only time in the game where you truly fight yourself.
