Any FORD mechanics here ????

Even my 1990 Super Coupe had to "relearn" after a dead battery, suspect this is no different....BUT my Tbird would drive, it just had to relearn idle, etc.
I hear ya, I've changed batteries and borrowed batteries from a ton of FI cars and yes, many times for the first 10 seconds the idle is a "little unsteady". Never seen a car not know it's a car because of a battery swap. In fact, most FI cars I've installed new batteries into have loved the "full power benefit" from the "up-to-snuff" battery.
