I don't know for sure.  Another variable I've thrown in is that I moved
distros.  I still have the old filesystem, but I don't see a trace of
an .ecryptfsrc in either that one or my current distro.

The data weren't important -- just some rsync'd backup files.  I'm just
curious to figure out what stupid thing I did so that I don't do it
again. :)
