The issue was caused by an .Xmodmap carried over from a backup of my dotfiles. No bug. :/

The first thing I do, post-install, is enable natural scrolling. It works for a while, but eventually (possibly after a reboot), my machine reverts to "classic" scrolling direction, even though I still have the natural scrolling button checked in mouse preferences. If I *uncheck* the natural scrolling box, it then goes back to natural scrolling. I've re-installed Ubuntu 14.04 and fully updated before checking the natural scrolling box again, and gotten the same behavior.
