I've now replaced both wheels. Hopefully this will hold up.
Given your history there is one more thing that I would recommend. Find a local wheel builder who owns and uses a tensiometer. Have him/her check all of the spoke tensions on both wheels. And, yes, it's possible for wheels to be perfectly true and yet have spoke tensions that vary all over the board.
