It turns out "the second time is the charm." The recipe to restore from ReadyNAS TM Backup is to reboot the Mac, run Migration Assistant once, which leads to the "Mount Failed" error, then quit Migration Assistant and run it a second time.

It is restoring my Mac now, predicting it will take 8 hours. If I don't report back then my restore was successful.
