So I just got a clue and stuck this right after my call to the component:
die(debug($this->viewVars));
It turns out that Cake sets loose Inflector upon the var names! What
kind of inane "feature" is that?!? And no flag to keep it from doing
so!
I think I'm going to have to break down and alter Cake core for this.
Please, someone talk me down from the ledge and explain to me why this
isn't a bug and I really should appreciate it.
