Quick update: they appear to be unfurling. Last couple days, I noticed the plants mildly wilt and get soft midday when the june-gloom burned off. The plant appeared relaxed so I gently uncurled the leaves - they stiffen by evening, and slightly re-curl but not all the way. New growth appears normal.

Here are closeups of the two worst ones, and also a bug that looks like the kind that transfers the curly disease. The one titled "uncurling 1" is the first photo here, while uncurling 2 is the closeup from earlier.

I counted a dozen little black krim tomatoes today, but so far no tasmanian chocolates.
That's looking a lot better, and I wouldn't rush to ES's conclusion of curly top virus just yet even though it's a possibility. If it continues to improve then it was a plant balance/nutrition problem. If not, then start considering other options. With the virus the leaves will start to roll up as well and take on a tough leatherly texture.

That bug is a type of mirid bug, and I don't think they are vectors for the virus (the main vector is a species of leafhopper).

Here's another thought. have you used herbicides lately or live in an area where they are used (crops?) Drifting chemicals are known to cause corkscrewing of new growth. But why your other tomatoes would be unaffected is a mystery.
