Followup: I finally isolated why I was getting no error messages: My Application.cfc had an OnError() method but nothing inside it yet.
Normally I come to error handling near the end of a project, to write graceful error handling throughout the application. Before then, graceful error handling is the last thing i need - i need errors shown in all their nasty horror while I'm developing, so I can fix them easily. Instead of commenting out the OnError() method in the Application.cfc, I had just left it there with nothing inside it. So whenever errors were occurring, the application was doing what it was told to do on an error - namely nothing at all. When i commented out the whole OnError function in the Application.cfc (as i normally did in the past) the error reporting behaviour i was used to returned. So thanks for your suggestions folks.
