thanks for all your collective help!
so... when I took photos at the same gym a week later (see below) and my colors were more consistent, it probably wasn't because I was using a custom WB, but instead was because most of my photos were taken at 1/250 sec (a slower shutter speed)?
Here's the most illuminating (no pun intended) information I found at SportsShooter:

Speaking of custom WB, no one has specifically stated this, but I'm assuming that it's important to set your shutter speed to 1/60 or slower when setting the WB, to capture the full cycle of the lighting. (am I right?)<div></div>

Really? I've never heard of such a thing.
(How is it that I avoided this problem for the first 18 months that I owned the camera?!)
I'm attaching a series of five photos to illustrate the problem.
Note the changing colors of the floor and the back wall.
All of these were taken at 1/350 sec, f/2.8, ISO 3200, with White Balance set to Tungsten.
Do you really think it's caused by what you've described above?<div></div>

I own a Pentax *ist DS.
Lately I've been seeing strange behavior related to white balance (WB).
For example, with the camera set to the tungsten WB setting, if I take several
photos of the same object in succession, I end up with a variety of color
casts. One photo will be too warm, the next too cool, the next "just right",
etc. These are not subtle variations; they are substantial.
I first noticed this problem with the tungsten setting, but I was able to work
around the problem by doing a Manual WB adjustment.
But now I'm starting to see the problem even with Manual WB.
Has anybody else had this problem??
Any idea what's going on, and what I can do about it?
