That was my first thought, but no, I'm using partitions out of the SATA
disks directly.  I even checked for stray dm out of fake raid or
somesuch, but the dm modules were not even loaded, and perusing
/sys/block confirms the “scsi” devices are actual ATA disks.

Further investigation suggested that when individual 512-byte blocks are
read from a disk (that's the block size reported by the kernel), the
underlying disk driver is supposed to inform the upper layer about what
it could read by updating the bio_vec bits in precisely the observed
way.
