I've got a 5 gallon carboy of wine in the refrigerator, to cold stabilize it. If one were to wait several weeks to let the tartar settle out & then take the carboy out, warming to room temperature, w/o immediately racking, would the tartar crystals "go back into solution"?

No, they'll stay on the bottom as crystalls.
A portion of them would redissolve, but the heat of crystallization that has been lost due to the chilling would keep most of them un-redissolved. It's a hysteresis effect.
