I have "resolved" this issue. I am documenting it here because the behavior may 
be interesting to the devs.

Looking at the logs, I noticed the following:

Restarting.


As you can see, two seemingly unrelated hosts were not responding to SNMPv3 
requests (because they were configured to use SNMPv2c). This, somehow, caused 
the zenperfsnmp process to kill and restart itself. This, in turn, caused the 
problem for my unrelated, correctly answering device.

When I configured Zenoss to monitor the two hosts using SNMPv2c instead of v3, 
the problems went away. This behavior, however, is quite contrary to what one 
would expect.
