A new clue:
I noticed that if I run gphoto2 --summary immediately after inserting
the USB, it works as expected! But if I then run it a second time right
after that, I get the same old error message.
In fact, I was also able to run gphoto2 --get-all-photos to download
all the photos from the camera using the same method.
So it definitely seems that some other software is hijacking the camera
when it is plugged in, and the only way to get access to the camera is
to beat it to the punch. It only works once, though, and then you have
to unplug+replug, or turn it off an on again to do it again.
