Sorry to follow up with one more post. Though I confess that I'm on
shaky ground here, I seem to have been able to accomplish the desired
behavior (i.e., a single yearly archive file with headings showing the
original file name) by advising the function org-archive-subtree.

,----
| (setq org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string "%Y") ".org::"))
|
| (defadvice org-archive-subtree (around my-org-archive-subtree-around)
|   (let ((org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string "%Y") ".org::* "(buffer-name))))
|     ad-do-it))
| 
| (ad-activate 'org-archive-subtree)
`----

If anyone sees anything blatantly wrong or hopelessly naive about this
setup, feel free to let me know. If it looks O.K., then please feel
free to disregard my previous request about changing the behavior of
org-archive-location.

Best,

Matt
