Kudos to frdriver and Brent. I should've listened earlier. It turned out to be the bearing retainer jamming the clutch hub spline on the rearmost disk. I had a machine shop take off 5/16" from the end of the input shaft (3/32" interference I measured, plus 0.100" for clutch wear, plus a little safety) and got the whole thing back together. It seems to work perfectly. My only consolation is that I can now pull and reinstall the trans in this car relatively easily, and by myself.
