Update: I just restarted MailMate, and _everything_ is back to normal.  
The smart mailbox now shows "TODO", not "Todo", and all messages 
previously showing as "Todo" with no emoticon or back to "TODO" with the 
emoticon.

It still seems there's something amiss with handling tags that differ 
only by case, but at this point I'm happy and don't intend to 
(inadvertently or otherwise) try to use such tags.

Thanks again for your help!
