Yes, I did remove it, when I was deleting caching objects from the
site root in hopes of resolving this earlier.  But it does seem
related, at least remotely, as when the CacheFu directories aren't in
Products, this error doesn't occur.

I see in /portal_skins/manage_propertiesForm that products I had long
deleted have left their cruft in the Plone Default skin Layers list.
And when I try to remove the cache layers and click Save (or even
click Save without changing anything), an exception is thrown: "Name
not found: LanguageToolFlags".

Also tried removing the products from portal_quickinstaller, and then
re-adding the directories, but that failed with the error that seems
related:
