Hi all, I think I can say definitely that this is a bug. I added the DB credentials to RT_SiteConfig.pm and, suddenly, the indexer started working perfectly. Yet RT itself pulls the exact same credentials from RT_SiteConfig.d/03-DBInfo.pm with no trouble. I have all my settings in multiple files under RT_SiteConfig.d, and they all work. It's just rt-fulltext-indexer that seems to have trouble accessing them. This explains a lot, and hopefully gets fixed in the next release. Thanks for everyone's suggestions and help.
