Problem solved: The culprit turned out to be Symantec Endpoint Protection's Network Threat component (firewall). Disable that, and the failing Koha functions work normally.
I was tripped up on this because I had disabled SEP days ago for testing. What I didn't know was that SEP re-enables itself when you reboot the computer. I can understand the reason for that, but it caused me some serious head-scratching before I discovered what was happening. For now, we will disable SEP's firewall for testing. Long term, we will look for a different AV product.
