Thanks all for the input. I do believe that at some point the existing stucco was painted. There is one rather obvious panel where a large section of the topcoat has failed and peeled off. Aside from that isolated issue, the stucco appears to be in pretty good shape.
Given that this renovation project is otherwise a no holds barred deal, I'm saying no to throwing another coat of anything on the old stucco. Seems to me that if I ultimately want to refinish the exterior, the proper approach will be to remove the paint and fog coat, or if necessary completely strip and apply new stucco.
