Just noticed the <hr /> tags. Are these for a semantic effect (can't think of what they'd add semantically, but I'm curious), or were they left there accidentally?

1) No, this is not an accident.
This is a new html5-option for better declaration of different contents/sections.

A google-search for the keywords "html5 <hr />" results in pages like:
http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_hr.asp
http://html5doctor.com/small-hr-element/

Hint: Be aware converting old fashioned hr-tags when upgrading from html4 to html5 if they don't suite the new thinking. They could/should be replaced with some special styled div or span.

2) Maybe problematic seems the question "<hr> or <hr />"
The theme actually uses <hr /> but I've read that html5 shall recognize either html4- or xhtml-coding-standards. If that's true mixed up situations could be a problem but I'm totally unsure about this by now- will test <br>.
