After a colleague (maxim) looked through the packet captures, he suggested that the observed failure was an artifact of the selected server (out of the pool of load-sharing boxes) hardware & OS running, but the service failing to respond to Spouse's clients requests for service. I finally(!) had a chance to test again (boot from the other slice & see if things work) ... and no problem observed. Sorry if I alarmed anyone unnecessarily.
