Just in case some change in future upgrades happen that doesn't allow a Wubi install to upgrade to the next version, how would I back up my preferences, information, etc., and import them into a new Wubi install? Would the only way be to convert it to a partition install?

You back-up your /home somewhere and then you paste it in the new one after the upgrade .

Yes all of your /home is in home.disk, so copy it somewhere and then mount it from within the new installation
mount -o loop /host/path/to/home.disk.old /new/mountpoint
