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?
