In all of the examples you gave the two parts work as separate entities; this is not the case with the sentence we are discussing.

It is Bungle. That's what i keep trying to get you to understand, it's an unorthodox way of constructing a sentence, but it is a valid way. Take the last part of each of those statements, first Chris' sentence:

Shouldn't the semicolon and the comma in your first sentence be reversed?

That is indeed another option. The only difference that would make is the length of the pause, it's personal preference and based on how you wish it to be read.
