I had already looked at my faces customizations and couldn't see anything usual 
about them. Then I went ahead and reset all faces customization to defaults. No 
change in this odd behavior. But

Thank you, Jeff. Your note prompted me to return to this line of investigation. 
I decided to just trash my customization file altogether as a test. Lo and 
behold, that fixed the problem. I have to rebuild my customizations, but that 
is a solvable problem. I still have no idea how this came about, why there was 
nothing visible wrong with the settings, and why resetting them from within 
Aquamacs didn't fix it. But, good enough!

Thank you, again.
