I have a little time tonight and tomorrow night which I am more than
willing to dedicate to tracking this down, but am clueless as to how to
go about it.  At this point, it is totally reproducible on this session,
so if you can tell me what to do, I'll give it a try.  I'm comfortable
with computers, but not with the programming environment, so I will need
fairly detailed instructions.
