Thanks. To say that the interface is non-obvious is an understatement. But it at least comes close to what I want.

Is there any rational way to copy every message in a smart folder to a
single zip file, preserving the date order? If I cmd-C the list of
messages and copy/paste the files somewhere (or do the same via the
command line), the order is quasi-random, not preserving dates. (I'm
perfectly happy to do any sort of weird stuff from the command line.)

Have you tried the functions in the Commands->Export menu? It's a bit
non-obvious in UI but it will export a selected set of messages to a
directory full of individual messages or a mbox file.
