Well, no backtrace, but figured out what it was -- and likely why I hadn't 
been able to load the pan.sent and pan.sendlater folders for some time (it 
hadn't been worth looking into, but I'd noticed it).  That Msg-ID clue had me 
guessing it was a corrupted message somewhere in the cache.  It wasn't the 
cache, per se, but the folders.  I didn't have anything of value in them, so 
once I figured out that's what it was, I deleted them and Pan is working just 
fine again.
