Bleagh, I'm giving up on this. I re-syncd some of my accounts via
dovecot, without the LAYOUT=fs flag, because that seemed to be causing
me more problems elsewhere, with no discernible benefit.

Now all my groups are prefixed with a ".", and there is no INBOX in the
filesystem at all -- the messages that appear to be in the INBOX group
from within gnus are located in the top-level "cur/" directory for the
account. So any messages found from that directory break nnir, because
there's no group name at all.

Back to the notmuch interface...
