I have a 1992 Ford Tempo. It just started doing this thing where the
left-turn signal doesn't "flicker," it just glows steadily. On the other
hand, if you apply the emergency flashers, it does flicker.

Is this likely the bulb, or something else? If it's "something else," is it
apt to be expensive? And lastly--why in the world do they make that bulb so
tough to get to? The whole engine is practically in the way.

I found the particular bulb (2396) and swapped the left & right in the back.
The behavior didn't change any at all.

normaly that is an indication you have a bulb out. there is not enough
current to opperate the relay, so it stays on.. check all bulbs, and if that
is not the problem than you will need to change the flasher.
also, ignore the asshole from cahnahdah, he has been drinking to much of
that synthetic blinker fluid

Thanks for the advice. By the way, how easy is it to change the flasher,
where is it etc?
