Right now, the "x out of y members found this post useful" is displayed right next to the thumbs up / down buttons, which we don't really want, because it can bias the opinion of the would-be voter (oh, look, this reply has only 2 positive votes out of 5, i won't bother to read it, just hit minus and be done with it)

Sure...

Just modify the conditional...

<if condition="$post['totalrank']">
      <phrase 1="$post[goodrank]" 2="$post[totalrank]" 3="$post[badrank]">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_x_out_of_y]</phrase>
     </if>

To something like

<if condition="$post['totalrank'] AND $post['helpfulanswerid']">
  <phrase 1="$post[goodrank]" 2="$post[totalrank]" 3="$post[badrank]">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_x_out_of_y]</phrase>
 </if>
