Figured it out. Nothing to do with mbsync, really. Thanks for your help!

For posterity’s sake, it was a shoddy notmuch/afew configuration. I was
attempting to synchronize maildir subfolders with notmuch tags via
afew’s [move mode]. The notmuch database uses the Message-ID as a key and
only marks new mail if the Message-ID is new. If mail moved on the far
side (i.e. I triaged mail with another client), mbsync would sync the
moves correctly, but notmuch would not consider the moved mail as new,
so `afew --tag --new' would not update the folder-based tags. Then `afew
--move-mails' would move the mail /back/ to the existing, outdated
folder tag from the notmuch database. And `mbsync' would of course
diligently sync these changes, appearing to me as “contention”.

The moral of the story is I need to bid adieu to IMAP folders and move
to JMAP.
