Gone away from the time machine theory.  The disk checked out OK and even

Strangely though, Disk  Utility reports no problems on  my main hard drive.
  Seems like it should have come up with something if the disk was going bad.

The problem has worsened to the point where, once it occurs, everything
works extremely slowly, applications won't fully quit, and if I shut the
computer down from the Apple Menu, I end up on the login screen and have to
shutdown from there or even physically power off.

The death of a drive is never pleasant - I'll probably scatter its ashes
over the rose garden.

I wouldn't wait much longer. If the drive is that bad, I wouldn't trust that the backups are being copied correctly. The backup drive is working, but who knows what data it's storing.
