This turned out to be much easier than I'd imagined.  All I had to do was run

    aptitude install libc6=2.13-38+deb7u4

...and answer a couple of straightforward questions on how to handle
one dependency.

After downgrading libc6, the installation of g++ went without a hitch.

And all was clarity and reason once more...
