The drain openings in the sunroof hatch well were obvious. A little compressed air seemed to help, and some water-bottle testing on both sides resulted in water running out the underside end.
The passenger side one was a little blocked at first and cleared up, so I'm hoping that will cure the problem -- that, and making sure the sunroof is closed. The controls are strange to me, a pair of spring-loaded, three-position, center-neutral "slide" and "tilt" controls that don't seem to have a positive hatch-shut setting: run them to the end and the hatch does tricky tilt-and-lift moves instead of stopping. Time to read the manual. Perhaps I'm missing something. (Note to Lexus: Please don't design airlock controls.)
Time and again, I've found that questioning my assumptions and checking the verifiable physical evidence and original documentation leads to a solution. I'm sure there's a wider lesson there, but I'll leave it for readers to work out.

Or, in other words, RTFM. ;-)
Sunroofs can be a lot like home hot tubs or home exercise equipment- something many people will use a couple of times then ignore after. Until it becomes a bit of a problem.
