If all of these dire environmental things are going on in my shack, how come the connectors at the other end of the cable are free of corrosion?

This was defective hardware, pure and simple, which Elecraft replaced.

It's possible you may have environmental issues going on (google 'chinese drywall'). Check wiring of light switches & outlets, and copper tubing in plumbing and a/c units for corrosion.

Note: The connection is purposefully disconnected to show the corrosion

And no, I don't live on a tropical island.  The average RH here the
desert of Tucson is less than 20%.
