Actually, I have everything working as I need it for my required
functionality, except for the display of the title as an editable text
field. I can save the data in my table and reorder the items using the
default nodequeue functionality just fine; it's just the display of the
field as a textfield which is causing the problem (see
http://drupal.org/node/653574 for details). My reason for trying to use
a #theme function for this field was that it appears that the div that
is put around the form item in theme_form_item (being called through
hook_form_alter) was what was causing the display problem, so I was
going to remove it by overriding theme_form_item for that field. I
don't think overriding theme_nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form would
work, since the div that is causing the problem is introduced in
hook_form_alter. Unless I change the field type in there.... Hmmm...
All I need is to get the display of the field working properly;
everything else is working as I need it. I'm so close I can taste it...
Thanks.

It seems like you're touching on a relatively common feature for
Nodequeue: Displaying fields from the nodes while changing the
subqueue order.
3rd from the top of the Nodequeue issue queue is
http://drupal.org/node/299111, which has an example from one developer
that might be helpful if it's applicable to Nodequeue 6.x. It's
probably easier easier to just theme the whole
nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form (we have
theme_nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form) and tweak the presentation of
this field there, since much of the node object is available as part
of the form.
Ultimately though I think the best and most re-usable solution for
your apparent end goal is what's proposed at
http://drupal.org/node/568100 -- Implementing the Nodequeue ordering
interface as a Views style plugin. Then we could display any field
with Views support and non-developers could customize the interface
for their use case (photo gallery, album mp3 track listing, etc).
For the question about how #theme works, it might be helpful to
checkout drupal_render(), which checks for $element['theme'], print
out the lone argument passed to your custom theme function, and/or see
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/6#theme.
