Folks,
Turns out that the problem was an old battery that was strong enough to slowly crank the engine, but did not have sufficient power to simultaneously power up the ECU and the fuel pump. The sudden onset of the issue when the weather turned cold was the key symptom.
Lesson learned: just because an old battery can crank the starter does not mean it has sufficient power to start the car. When in doubt, perform a load test.
Thanks much to the members who responded. In particular, I'll keep Bill's advice handy when it comes to future testing for fuel flow.
