I think I might have nailed the villain.  It was a very old bug.  The
fix is in revision 117181 on the emacs-24 branch; I reproduce it below
for your convenience.  Please try running with it for a while, and if
the problems in Rmail don't come back, I will close the bug.

Thanks again for your help.
