Meanwhile, I'm figuring out how to strip X-UID headers. I use MIMEDefang, which is designed for cleaning up these sorts of things, but apparently it doesn't strip X-UID by default, so I'll have to add that. While I'm at it, are there any other nasty headers you can think of that I should be stripping?

I've seen spam with bogus X-UID headers creating such problems.
We filter those bogus headers out with procmail/formail

:0 fw
* ^(X-UID|X-IMAPbase|X-IMAP|X-Status|Status|X-Keywords):
| formail -IX-UID: -IX-IMAPbase: ... etc ...

Once I get that taken care of, how can I get imapd to go back to using smaller values? You mentioned "the UID regime"; what is that?

If you are using unix format, you could "sed" the X-UID headers out, imapd
would regenerate them. IMAP users would see their clients re-indexing
the mailbox, which should not be a problem, but POP3 clients with keep
messages on server would re-download every message, creating duplicates,
you might want to warn them.
