I had already looked at my faces customizations and couldn't see anything usual about them. Then I went ahead and reset all faces customization to defaults. No change in this odd behavior. But....
Thank you, Jeff. Your note prompted me to return to this line of investigation. I decided to just trash my customization file altogether as a test. Lo and behold, that fixed the problem. I have to rebuild my customizations, but that is a solvable problem. I still have no idea how this came about, why there was nothing visible wrong with the settings, and why resetting them from within Aquamacs didn't fix it. But, good enough!
Thank you, again.
