The problem appears to be SLADE and apparently Virtualstore (the latter of which I'll admit is new to me).
I moved the entirety of my Doom directory to a folder outside of Program Files, then started SLADE and, while it should then have been unable to find any files, in its history it still showed the .wads I had edited and even opened them, despite the fact that they should no longer be there. Apparently it is keeping some sort of a cache history. How GZDoom (or ZDL?) got confused by it, I'm still not sure, but this definitely seems to be the root of the problem.
I'll try reinstalling SLADE to a different folder as well. If the problem persists, at least now I have some sort of a handle on what is happening. For a while there I was beginning to think that I was either totally inept or my laptop was possessed by Imps. Now as it turns out, it seems to be Windows 10 gremlins instead.
Thanks again for your time, trouble and patience. GZDoom (and ZDoom, of course) are my favorite sourceports.
