Thank you Pieter - that was really helpful. I realize now that I was thinking of a preimage attack but had mistakenly assumed that the birthday bound applied...
So the unit operation: [genkeypair; ripemd160(sha256(pubkey));check_utxoset] would need to be performed 2.9*10^42 and not (as I had first calculated) 2.4*10^18.
Oops. My bad.
