Which is why I was leaning toward either a NIC problem, or bad RAM. 
(There's no ECC on this box.)

I hadn't yet.  (I was trying a few other things first, such as changing 
MAC algorithms, and rebooting with the older kernel, neither of which 
seemed to affect things.)

I've now disabled both rx and tx checksum offloading.  We'll see if that 
makes a difference.
