Close -- it ended up that the grip was pressing against the bar end weight.
I swung by the dealer to get a cable lubing tool and mentioned the
problem to the service guys. The service manager took off the bar end to
take a look for himself, and the problem went away. So, he added a
little washer in between the bar end weight and the rest of the grip.
Problem fixed!
I'm not sure why the problem "suddenly" showed up. It may have been such
a gradual thing that I just didn't notice it until I'd been away from
the bike for a while.
