Doesn't the solvent in the "kerosene" cleaner also eat out the lubricant in the 'o' rings?
No. Maybe if you let it set for couple of hours, but to clean and wipe dry it won't affect the sealing rings

I thought the purpose of lubing an 'o' ring chain was to reduce friction between the sprockets and the chain. Cleaning the chain was to remove the dirt build up that was caused by crap sticking to the lubricated moving parts. Because chains are cheaper than sprockets!
Or maybe I just need to understand.

Well. Quality X-ring chains are actually much more expensive than sprockets, but your understanding is correct.
I use Tiki Torch oil to clean mine.
Keeps the skeeters away too
