I have several Pi2s running here doing various things and all show the
same characteristic (very high) interrupt rate on that channel.  Some
are on hard-wired Ethernet and a couple on USB-WiFi dongles.  None have
keyboards, mice, or displays connected.

Yep.  The rate does not appear to depend on what I have connected (or
don't) to the various ports here.
