And the answer is...
Thanks to some "super-sleuthing" by Rick Quatro the causes have been found.
One document had a stray, empty text box that was preventing the
deletion of the extra pages.
The other included an inset with a table. In FrameMaker 11 it splits
across 2 pages (a header row and 2 body rows flow to the second page),
but in the PDF it stays all on one page which affects the pagination of
the remaining pages in the document so another blank page results,
apparently after "extra pages" have been deleted. I'll have to follow
up with Adobe on this one, I guess.
Thanks to all of you for your willingness to help.

In each case, if I change the conditional settings to "Show All" and set the
pagination settings to "Next Available [Page]" and "Delete Empty Pages", I
don't have the blank pages at the end. When I change the conditional settings
to show only the conditions appropriate to the PDF, I get the blank pages in
the FM as well as the PDF. I can see the pilcrow marking the end of the
document so I don't know what FM thinks is beyond that point.
Did you save after changing the condition settings? If that doesn't help, try
manually deleting the empty pages (Special > Delete Pages). Is it possible that
there's some unobvious conditionalized object, as Anita suggested?
Are you sure your pagination and start on settings aren't the culprit? IIRC, you said
chapter titles are set to start on a new page -- are you sure it's not start on right
page or start on left page? Look critically at the files with the "blank" pages
-- and at the files that follow them. More often than not, blank pages are the result of
some conflict in the pagination / start on / keep with settings.
