In the absence of new ideas, I have tried switching to the indexing 
daemon using by:

- Comment the rebuild_zebra.pl line in /etc/cron.d/koha-common
- Enable the indexer daemon in /etc/default/koha-common
- Restart Koha's daemons:
   $ sudo service koha-common stop ; sudo service koha-common start

I also looked at my zebra-error.log, which turns out to be filled with 
this sequence, repeating every 30 seconds:

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 20683) exited with 1 status

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 20684) exited with 1 status

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 20685) exited with 1 status

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 20686) exited with 1 status

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 20687) exited with 1 status

20151228 15:16:48 library-koha-zebra: terminating too quickly, waiting 30 seconds


Note that this log tail was observed after switching to the indexing daemon.

Lots of data, very little understanding here!
