Tried the new version of rebase.  Did not fix the problem.
Tried rebase -s -i.  No asterisks, so presumably no collisions.
Tried uninstalling Sophos.  Did not fix the problem.
Tried the 2011-11-08 snapshot.  Seems to fix the problem!

I'm not comfortable deploying a snapshot throughout the building, 
though.  I will roll back to 1.5 for now and wait for that snapshot to 
make it to a release.  Thanks!
