Can backup-by-copying-when-linked somehow be set on a per directory basis?

You should be able to use the .dir-settings.el file for that.

I can't find any info on .dir-settings.el.  Hints?

This is emacs-23.0.91.

I found .dir-locals.el.

I cannot find .dir-settings in any emacs lisp code under emacs-23.0.91, nor 
in the installed elisp manual (goto to top elisp manual, hit 's' enter dir-
settings).

Your User-Agent string suggests otherwise. ;-)

IIRC Neal is a Pythonista, and therefore is used to a dfferent kind of
anachronism: ie, bugs being fixed before they get reported.  Be gentle.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: <wink>
