Thanks, DrByte! I replaced the line around 123 ($dump_params) as you first indicated, but I got
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CASE in /hsphere/local/home/user/domain/admin/backup_mysql.php on line 207
when I tried running the mod. I then downloaded and unzipped the revised mod from your link, and compared revised files to the existing ones. Noticing you'd overhauled admin/backup_mysql.php in a big way, I installed the complete version 1.3.

Bravo! Works flawlessly with 1.3.7, at least in so far as it omits the LOCK_TABLES from new backups. Haven't tried restoring from backup yet; I'll install 1.3 on a non-productive site this weekend and do a restore from backup.

Again, many thanks and a round of coffee for the fix.
