Have you checked the wiring harness connector in the door jam for corrosion?

No, I'm not familiar with that. Would that account for the wonkiness I've been experiencing? The problem seems intermittent. Earlier today, after opening the trunk lid with the fob, the outside door handle triggered the window drop as it should.

I'm still betting on the door latch - either the micro-switch in the latch, or the part of the latch that contacts it. The harness connector in the door jam sounds good too though. All of those micro-switches are wired to the CLU through the door harness.
