Pardon the overabundance of dancing produce, but I just got a call from the PO, and I can finally put my ulcer back on the shelf (for a while, at least). My packages are all accounted for. The alleged supervisor says that they were probably pulled for a random security check (despite the fact that two or three days ago, he/she said that wasn't possible, since it wouldn't have derailed 'em for more than 24 hours); frankly, I think they just like giving people stress, or stuck the damn things on the wrong truck, or something... but until the packages are all safe and sound at their new homes, the last thing I'm going to do is start a fuss with the postal overlords.
After that, though, there will be a mightily irate letter.
Anyway, he/she says they're in the system and heading down to the airport routing station, so all is well. If anybody's looking for me, I'm going to be over here in the bar, drinking like a fish.
