To close the loop, around 6:30pm yesterday, I noticed the status went from "tracing continues" to "arranging delivery." So they found it. (I never got a text, call, or email, including from the bag delivery service who listed it as being picked up for delivery later that evening.)

I was out anyway and drove out to pick it up rather than trusting it to be dropped on my porch at 3:30am. It was right there outside the baggage office; no one could give me any update other than, "Your bag is here," so ultimately, I don't know what happened to it.

My guess is that it was indeed left somewhere ramp-side. There didn't appear to be any physical damage to the bag or its contents, so I don't think it fell off or got caught up in the belts, but at least it made it home.
