Just to follow up and cap this whole thread off, its absolutely the
postfix-ldap package that is calling libsasl2. I built the package
from source, turning off cyrus-sasl support, and the errors vanished.

I filed a Debian bug to voice an appeal for having the libsasl2 files
added to the default /var/spool/postfix chroot tree, since it seems
to me that if they are going to include libsasl2 support the included
file structure should ideally fully support it without throwing
errors in a fairly standard configuration. I'll see where that leads.

Meanwhile, my problem is solved. Thanks Wietse and everyone for the
patience and bandwidth!

Here is the link to the Debian bug for reference:
