In case anyone was curious, I was able to get what I wanted to work from within Frame 12. By adding a folder to one book, populating that folder with the individual files of the second book, and then generating a postscript file (and then a PDF), I got cross-book cross-references with no generated list or page number oddities.
One weird thing I discovered, however, was that I have to set the PDF Setup options every time I generate the PS file. I don't encounter this behavior with other books without added folders that I work on.
