What is the interaction between the "-unk" and "-skip" parameters to 
'ngram-count' when creating an LM given a word list that fully covers 
the training words?

According to srilm-faq.7, the precise interaction in terms of backoff 
strategy when a test word sequence is looked up that has no 
corresponding N-gram in the LM depends on the particular backoff scheme.
