My specific need came from using a plaintext editor (Plaintext, although the issue is similar in IA Writer, Byword, etc.) where I can create new folders to organize my .txt docs, and I create new docs in them, but I can't move existing ones into or out of folders.
So I thought, surely I can switch over to the Dropbox app, move the files to the desired folders there, then come back, but that's not the case. There's not even a move function in the Dropbox app.
Is there some way on an iPad to move a file in Dropbox to a different folder in Dropbox (that doesn't involve logmein or some other VPN app that lets me access my Mac)?

There is a move function within the dropbox app. Go to the folder that contains the file(s) you want to move and click on the check icon.
Select the file(s) you want to move and click on move on the lower right corner. Now a new window will appear. Choose the location where you want to move the file and tab the choose button.
That's it.
