Thanks everybody who gave suggestions on this pedal clicking issue. I finally found the solution (though I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it): Tighten the doggone pedals onto the crank arm using a proper pedal wrench!
Getting home to my main toolbox I used a nice, long pedal wrench to tighten them (instead of using an allen key, from the opposite side). Was able to get close to a 1/4 turn more out of the LH pedal, and voila! Clicking ceased!
