An off-list message told me to rename ~/.gnupg, then run gpg from the CLI.  I 
had actually done this once before, but I must have done something wrong the 
first time, because this time a new ~/.gnupg folder was created.  I copied 
all files except backup ones from my old home directory, and now everything 
appears to be working correctly.

Just what was corrupted, and why, I have no idea, but I'm so glad to be able 
to work on this box again.

Thanks to all who tried to help.
