Kookaburra coins: Don't be fooled!

I was pricing Australian silver Kookaburra coins on eBay recently, and I noticed something disturbing though not entirely unexpected:  an awful lot of people are selling the bullion issue under a claim that it's the proof issue.  My guess is that most of these people are misinformed rather than dishonest, but either way, buyers should beware.  Many Web pages about these coins are confusing, outdated, and/or horribly designed, so I'm going to collect some information about them here for my own reference and anyone else's who may care.
