I thought I would close the loop on this one for the archive.  After a bit
of digging around, it appears that OpenSSL was objecting to what it thought
was a too-short key for one of the intermediate certificates in our chain,
even though it really was entirely adequate given the lifetimes involved.
When the time came to re-key the intermediate CA, we increased the sizes
and the problem went away.

Belated thanks for your suggestions at the time, and season's greetings!
