I think indeed it was a RAM issue. After some cache-flushing, e2fsck
on the file system with the checksum errors reported no errors, even
though there wasn't even a reboot in between.
(Then I discovered the "e2fsck -F" flag, which would have been
a lot simpler than what I did instead. Oh, well.)
Looking in the BIOS, I found some suspicious timing parameters that
might be responsible, and reset them to stock. I'll know for sure if
the problem stays away for a month, but in the mean time, thank you
everyone for your help and patience, and consider the matter
resolved unless I find more problems.
Sorry for the false alarm.
