The rear wheel shouldn't move at all when pulled, so if it were the front drive bearings that were iffy i'd imagine the chain being messy and jumpy but the wheel itself should still be firmly in place, and his left foot would feel like someone was kicking it?
Are you definite that you can move the wheel, or could it possibly be the chain/sprocket making the donk noise because they are simply severely worn?
The little giveaway is when you say you hadn't touched the chain for months, taking into account how much rain we've had this year!
The reason i say that is 'cos i had a tight link on my chain and i really look after mine, but months of rainfall can take it's toll.
