Is there an easy way to get a trace of the traffic between emacs and the superior lisp? I know that some such information is traced on the emacs side, but since emacs crashes, I cannot see it there.
You can set swank:*log-events* and you probably also want to disable swank:*global-debugger*. And there's always ethereal (or whatever it's called now).

One more thing. I guess I should have asked this very basic question first: Does the mere fact of editing a Lisp file cause communication with the swank server? If so, what is being communicated?
Yes, Emacs notifies the Lisp side on the first buffer change. There's also a lot of communication for arglist lookup and -- if enabled -- the autodoc stuff.
