D'oh.  Obviously she needs permission to SeeQueue on the queue in
question, but the ticket I randomly picked for playing with this morning
wasn't in such a queue.  Ooops.  (Memo to self: Don't post to mailing
lists on Monday mornings.)

Eh?  You mean she can still comment once her rights have been revoked?
I gave the external user these rights:

  CommentOnTicket
  ModifyTicket
  SeeQueue
  ShowTicket

and everything seems to behave as you want.  The ModifyTicket right
sounded dangerous, but in practice the self-service interface doesn't
(seem to) provide a way for modifying any part of a ticket except for
adding comments, so that works fine -- the exernal user can add comments
but not change anything else.
