I think I found the problem. I disconnected both taillight assemblies and the fuse didn't blow when I used the brakes. When I reconnected the passenger-side taillight, I didn't have an issue. This suggested a problem in either the driver's side taillight assembly or the wiring.

I decided to risk "throwing parts at a problem" and replaced the driver's side taillight bulb carrier since other posts suggested that it was prone to failure. I've driven the car about 10 miles with the new bulb carrier installed and everything seems to be working.
