Additional testing reveals that writing really large files must simply be more likely to reproduce the problem, but in fact is not a requirement. With a NTFS partition near capacity (around 4 GB remaining), I was able to reproduce the problem by writing a file that is just under a GB to it. When I noticed that it slowed way down several seconds into writing the file, I aborted and freed an additional half a GB more (giving a total of ~4.5 GB free). I was then able to write my file not-so-large file at normal speeds. So it seems this may be due to some odd fragmentation corner case.
