The issues seems to resolve itself randomly. As others suggested, an arbitrary combination of ADB kill-server, restarting the device, and re-installing SDKs seems to alleviate the problem (even if only for a couple pushes).

I still have no idea what causes this hanging and, though superstitiously believe the arbitrary combination described above fixes it, am unsure how to permanently resolve it.

To future people reading this, until a solid explanation is given my only advice is to square away an hour or so to restart / rebuild your dev environment... and make sure you buy a durable stress ball.
