Opening the import window to my iPhone now generates edited photos?

No, nowadays these are all new photos made after the last connection to the 
phone, and they have names of the form IMG_E0000.JPG .

As I said, those "E" files do not actually exist on the phone as far as I can 
tell via an ifuse mount of the DCIM directory, but when I import them they are 
indeed different. The difference resembles what you get with Apple's auto-
enhancing function but it's also possible that an ICC/ICM profile has been 
applied.

I'll just be importing from the mounted DCIM directory for the time being though 
I have the impression that doesn't work as well.

BTW, is there a way to let digiKam preserve the dates on the image files so they 
sort in order of being taken? Doing that post-hoc with an external utility seems 
unnecessary AND it won't work for videos.
