I attempted a full uninstall and reinstall from scratch in case the upgrade was in error, but that failed as well. Reverting to 3.12.4 resolves the issue (though the annoying bug that it will not scan the back of the last page in duplex mode still exists, which I was hoping would be resolved in 3.12.6).
