No luck yet on tweaking proximity parameters but cleaning the fingerprints and gunk off my screen helped a lot!  Mobian apparently used to have a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-proximity.rules so if I find one of those it might provide some insight.

I did find that one can temporarily disable the proximity sensor (and ambient light level detection?) with "sudo rmmod stk3310" and do it permanently by adding that module to /etc/modprobe.d/proximity.conf.
