The MPICH folks, who lurk on this list (gasp!), actually replied to me offlist 
and pointed out that they had pretty much the same problem, and pointed out a 
clever solution.  Thanks, MPICH guys!

I committed a fix to the trunk and to v1.6 (and will CMR it to v1.7, too).  

This is, admittedly a fairly obscure error case (i.e., we've not run into it 
before).  But the fix was easy and we might as well protect against it.
