I should add that when this issue occurs, it seems that files that are
defined via externals become "stuck in the selected state", for lack of
a better expression. To be clear, I have a modified file listed in
externals (it's greyed-out, as expected), and for some reason I can't
de-select/un-highlight it. If I click another file (single left-click)
that is NOT external, and do a right-click -> Compare with Base,
Tortoise opens two instances of my diff-viewer; one with the
non-external file, and one with the external file (because both files
are "selected" when I choose from the context menu).

I have attached a screenshot in an effort to demonstrate (part of) the
problem.

Again, if I simply close the Commit dialog and re-open it, everything
functions as expected. As late, I'm observing this issue some 5-10% of
the time I attempt to commit.
