I would say if you check the stump and main vine you will find they are soft and leaking. I have had very simular problems. I did not have a very good outcome when my vines looked liked yours with wilt near main vine and stump. I sent plant materials and soil to plant pathologist fusarium and Rhizoctonia both were present in roots and vines. Good luck very bad problem to deal with

How quick is it spreading? (How long does it take an apparently healthy leaf close by to wilt down?)

Tim, I cant believe it..does it spread fast? I just noticed this yesterday. Ive been sick for two days and havent been out. I have plenty of vine past the pumpkin. DANG IT!

oh yeah this spreads very fast, it will slow down if you don't use your sprinklers, I would recommand a drench with "Alliete" (you can also spray it). this should at least slow it down or stop it from spreading out.
just my opinion.

Just went out and check the stump and main...yep, soft main and foaming stump. Oh well, guess I get to work in the patch instead of using the weed wacker.
