Turns out one of the chevrons on the flywheel was coming off. I stuck it back down, but the next ride it came completely off. I didn't replace it, since AFAICT it's merely decorative.
Funny story, I was doing the Radio Tower climb this past winter and was pushing so hard, when suddenly I thought I broke the trainer when everything collapsed, but it was really me pulling my rear wheel out from the horizontal dropout. I have zero desire to do that stupid climb again. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.
