That was a bad diagnosis.  The problem I see is an effect of running
sudo with this rule:

auditctl -a entry,always -S close

Using the following set of rules produces normal-looking behavior,
i.e. no audit record floods.

auditctl -w /usr/bin/sudo -p x
auditctl -a entry,possible -S close

My apologies for the false alarm.
