Problem solved: Chris King to the rescue.
It occurred to me that while my main randonneuring bike is in pieces so that the frame can go back to the factory, I have a spare 1-1/8" threadless headset--my Chris King. So I put it in the Bike Friday, and lo and behold the veering/pulling problem is entirely gone. Woohoo!
I'm loath to pull it back off the BF, since it seems like the more times it gets put on and took off, the more chances to bend something and ruin it. So I guess I'll buy myself another one.
