BIG UPDATE!
After my 8/27 post, I swapped my new coil into the #5 position. By this point, I felt that I had amassed enough evidence (through all the testing/reasoning/advice above) which suggested that my problem was:
A.) due to coilpacks
B.) due to one of the rear coilpacks (1-3-5)
C.) not due to coilpacks 1 or 3...
So #5 was my last hope.
And.....

After 140 miles of driving the car (trying often to reproduce the symptoms), I have not experienced a single missfire/surge/hesitation anywhere in the RPM or Throttle ranges.
140 miles may be a little early to claim victory - but it sure seems like the problem has been cured. I intend to swap the old coilpack back into the #5 position later this week - just to see if the symptoms re-appear. If that happens, I will feel that this case is closed, and my '95 Max suffered from a bum #5 coilpack.
Many thanks to everyone who helped out with this - I greatly appreciate it!!
