Ok. So I compared the directory authorities between an environment that works, and one that doesn't.

The directory that doesn't work has *no authority line at all* for its owner. Just one for *PUBLIC.

One that's known to work fine has authority lines for *both* the owner *and* *PUBLIC.

And as soon as I put in an owner authority line on the recalcitrant one, it started behaving itself.

This is profoundly weird. Can somebody explain what just happened?
