Searches appear to have been the cause indeed. But, here's the kicker, no searches were listed under "Searches" in the folder list. I had looked there before, because I suspected searches. There was a "Last Search" file in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/search and I had to delete that in order to stop KMail's misbehavior.
