That definitely sounds as though they are failing and the fault might
not have been the battery after all.
 
 

Yes, but it seems to be a gigantic coincidence that they both failed
separately after I inserted new batteries. And one of them didn't
actually die until I put back the hitherto good cell back in!

That does seem more than a coincidence but I can't come up with any
obvious straightforward explanation of what could have caused it. 

I am not familiar with the batteries but is it possible there are two
apparently similar types which differ in voltage or polarity and you
were supplied with the wrong ones?  I have come across CMOS chips that
were labelled wrongly, so could that have happened with the batteries?

Another possibility was that, when you changed the batteries, you were
wearing a combination of artificial fibre clothes that generated large
amounts of static electricity - but most modern electronic products are
proof against that.
