The yaw might be one way but the steering angle or abs sensor might be another. I mean with the yaw killed everything is fine. Here the sheet...remember the passenger toe was a backwards plate so nothing crazy happened it seems.

PS the car also drove and turned fine before the alignment (minus the cocked steering wheel), after 3 recalibrations the car won't turn. Something in the computer or sensor is not playing nice.
If the steering wheel is straight now (and assuming the position sensor and yaw sensor are OK), then it sounds like it could be the wheel sensor causing the warning light but that shouldn't affect steering in the way you describe. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by having to put on the brakes to turn.
