Evolution appears to behave as expected now that I have disabled "Copy
folder content locally for offline operation" for the folders for which
it was enabled.

This seems unlikely. The problem with synchronizing thousands of
messages occurred every day or two, *before* I hosed Evolution's data
store by forcibly interrupting it.  The cache was over 4 GB then; it is
now over 5 GB.

The Inbox has over 5k messages.
The sent folder has less than 500.
