On arrival, did the police at BUD ask any specific questions or hassle you? I'm a tad nervous that they're going to ask me why I left Paris only to return to Paris right away.

Also, with the possibility of the EU adding the US to the white-list of countries as early as this week, what might this mean for entry into BUD? (I love the city and want to re-visit!)
I'd suggest checking TIMATIC on this. You're not doing the same thing as Quinlanty - transit is travelling from a first country to a third country through a second, not returning to the first. AF may well insist that if you cannot enter Hungary you will not be allowed to fly.

As to the last leg, I wouldn't do anything more complicated than ditching it. But again be aware that you wouldn't be allowed to board in the US if you weren't admissible to your final ticketed destination [though we're obviously all hoping Hungary will open soon].
