I answered my own question, after some spelunking in the Beamer manual.
I needed to specify the subsectionstyle correctly:
\AtBeginSection[] % Do nothing for \section*
{
\begin{frame}<beamer>
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[currentsection,hideallsubsections]
\end{frame}
}
\AtBeginSubsection[] % Do nothing for \subsection*
{
\begin{frame}<beamer>
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection,subsectionstyle=show/shaded/hide]
\end{frame}
}
