That is what calibre does on macOS to work around this issue.

Wow, thanks for verifying that. I don't understand what you mean by "passing _CS_DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR to the confstr() function," though. I assume that's a fix specific to Calibre? I think I fixed my problem by just creating a custom folder per KevinH's instructions.
I'm going to spend some more time learning about Calibre. If I remember correctly, it allows you to put images in subfolders, which is something Sigil can't do (I think). I have to revisit that thread. It's just a bit of a pain having over 500 images in one "Images" folder.
Hopefully, I'll be past the learning curve when I start working on my third ePub.
