FWIW, I had the problem of getting booted to character select with a "You have been disconnected" message by trying to open the pottery wheel and the brew barrel both. (Yes, I posted in the thread you referenced.)
I'm using the default UI and in East Cabilis. EDIT: I tested by creating a character in Qeynos and I was able to open the Forge in North Qeynos without problems.
