Comment(by miqrogroove):

 Having participated in hakre's thread, the 2 patterns offered by dd32
 above and mine above are all looking undesirable for my own code.  I've
 dropped my instances of prepare() and substituted the good old
 $wpdb->_real_escape() pattern.  It works with my queries, and I know it's
 faster and more secure than $wpdb->prepare().  It became the obvious,
 simple solution.
