Okay, after doing a bit more digging I figured it out
-- just needed to recopy my .gconf/evolution/* back
into my home directory again (after making sure no
gnome processes were still running).

The reason I ran into this is that I tried to run
evolution after restoring my home directory, but the
restore missed installing hidden files/directories. 
After I went back and did that, gconf still had the
2.2.1 version strings (maybe it flushed after I
overwrote the file?), and so it still wanted to run
the wizard.

Anyway, this isn't the smoothest or, it seems, the
most intuitive way to fix the problem -- is there some
other scheme that can be used so that users don't
"lose" their configs so often?
