In trying to update a copy of SM v.2.30 to the latest version on a

file-by-file search using Windows Explorer, I couldn't find any
evidence of a 2nd copy of SM but I wasn't clear about what evidence I
should have been looking for.

Try looking at the "Processes" tab of Windows Task Manager
(CTRL-SHIFT-ESC). Do you see any SeaMonkeys there?

This sometimes occurs when SM doesn't shut down correctly.

Yes! I suffered the same problem for a long time - unable to discover why, & yes a hidden copy of Seamonkey was still cranking according to Ubuntu "Processor" display - as a matter of fact several Seamonkey timers were running. With a short amount of time they did time out & a new Seamonkey process could be started - no harm done. Just a nuisance!

Yet since updating to sm v2.33.1 it seems the problem is gone. At the same time I am sure many updates took place for Ubuntu Linux. Which update actually ended the problem I don't know. But it seems gone now for at least 2-3 months.

I am running Ubuntu Linux 12.04LTS updated, & now a Windozz system user complaint of the same bug, so I suggest the nuisance is more Seamonkey related, than OS related. But who knows?
