Wow, thanks!
I didn't have CCD logging turned on, but I did try disabling logging and then
things worked.  And as I've tried re-enabling logging I haven't reproduced the
failure.  Very strange.  I'll go ahead and load the beta image that you've
mentioned.

If I don't see anymore repeats I guess I could resolve this as not
reproducible.  We'll see...
