Well, this didn't last. The problem came back. Then in the process of getting a copy of the database ready to send to Kinook, stripping out items, once a certain number had been removed the problem stopped happening. Copied the items I'd deleted back in from the original db, compacted, and it all worked once more. So I've got a working database back again this way.
No idea really what caused the problem or what fixed it.
