I re-tightened all the valve cover screws, and cleaned out the area while the plugs were still in place. It now looks cleaner than it has in a year or so.
What surprised me was the sudden increase in the amount of oil weepage and staining. It has been cold here recently, but the lowest temp was -10F which is not unreasonably cold for MI or Scandanavia, so I don't think winter temperatures alone caused this. The factory gasket had not weeped in the five years of ownership prior to replacing the bolts.
