Meld just updated from 3.20.4 to 3.22.0 (I have ~amd64 set for meld),
and now meld uses client side decorations instead of allowing the
window manager to handle that stuff. This is extremely annoying, since
meld looks/acts differently than everything else and a lot of window
operations are now unavailable for meld.
For now, I'm goint to revert to 3.20.4, but hopefully there's a way to
get meld 3.22 to behave itself?

You might want to have a look at gtk3-classic [1] which includes the
functionality of the dated gtk3-nocsd [2] hack.
The former is available in the khoverlay as a patcheset.

Thanks! I had found gtk3-nocsd. I initially ran across it many years
ago when trying to get evince to act like a good X11 app, but
switching from evince to atril solved that problem without having to
try gtk3-nocsd.
gtk3-nocsd was a seperate library that replaced a few GTK3
functions. It was used by setting LD_PRELOAD so that the gtk3-nocsd
library was searched first -- that way it could be applied only to
specific executables.
OTOH, gtk3-classic is a set of source patches that get added to the
"normal" gtk portage directory. Those patches are then used the next
time gtk3 is emerged. That means that it's a permanent, system-wide
change: all executables that use GTK3 will be using a library that has
the classic patches.
Am I undertanding the mechanisms correctly?

I didn't state that very well -- the patches are installed into the
/etc/portage/patches directory for gtk+, not into the normal portage
db for gtk+.

Yes, the way the gtk3-classic ebuild in the overlay works is by placing
the patches in the portage patches folder. Once rebuilt, the patched
gtk+ library will disable CSDs by default, but the behavior can be
altered with the GTK_CSD environment variable. Please have a look at the
documentation for the details and further caveats.
Sincerely,
Meik

Brilliant!
I added khoverlay, emerged gtk3-classic-patches, re-emerged gtk3+, and
the new meld now behaves "properly" like all everything else.
