Thanks for getting back to me.
This evening, I had one of those lightbulb  moments, and realized that if I matted the picture to the cloth first, using the Pioneer acid-free double-sided mounting tape that's become an old friend, and taking care to seal it on all four sides, then there should be no need to worry about whether the casing-in adhesive will (1) ooze out onto the picture and permanently deface it, or (2) fail to permanently join the cloth to the picture.
The Pioneer tape is one of the very few pressure-sensitive adhesives I've come to trust, and I've now got pieces of scratch paper attached with it to the backs of a sample of Arrestox, and a sample of Dover, and once it's had a chance to develop full strength, I'll see how well it holds.

I'd suggest a mixture, actually. When covering with cloth (any kind) I will put a layer of PVA on my boards and then a thin layer of paste. PVA by itself "grabs" to quickly and gives you very little time to move your boards into the proper position if they land just a little off. Paste by itself takes too long to dry. The two layers give you just enough time to get it into position but don't may you sit there with weights on it all day.
