I don't think it would be bizarre to re-apply, just mention why you're reapplying. MD and IN are excellent schools, why didn't you go? Well that doesn't matter now, take the GRE Math do well and gear everything towards transferring. I would imagine the GRE Math is considered no matter if you almost have a master's finished, so improving that score could be worthwhile in opening up doors to other programs. What's to lose other than time.

Just to be clear, you are referring to the math subject GRE score, and not the general GRE math portion, right? It is probably worthwhile re-taking the math subject GRE to improve your score. Some schools (but certainly not all) weight the math subject GRE score fairly highly as a measure of how "strong" an applicant is.
