Thanks to all who responded -- Josh, Braden, and Andrew. Just knowing about
node-inspector and to look at the node-cache will surely help me going
forward.
As it turns out, I think there is a bug in the 3.0.3 CLI. The immediate
source of the error is in node_modules/cordova/src/prepare.js -- the
platform list passed in includes options, so when the line
platforms[p].parser(...) is executed on line 68 with p==--debug,...
I'm sure this is fixed in later versions, and I'm not going to risk breaking
something else trying to fix it properly myself, so my work-around is to
only invoke 'cordova build android' without options, and then hand edit
PROJECT_ROOT/platforms/android/cordova/build.bat, appending the build type
option to the command there. It's a little ugly, but not inconvenient.
I sincerely appreciate the help. Yesterday was a bad day -- I was hit by at
least three other "nasty surprise" issues. By evening, I was very tired.
Andrew

At a glance, it sounds like your bug might be caused by having a newer
cordova-android cached than 3.0.3 is expecting, causing the build and run
scripts to fail. Try deleting $HOME/.cordova/lib, and recreating the test
project.
On Windows, that should be %USERPROFILE%\.cordova\lib
In general, installing node-inspector is the right starting point:
npm install node-inspector
node node_modules\node-inspector\bin\inspector.js
Then in another window, node --debug-brk cordova-cli\bin\cordova
And then use Chrome to load the url that inspector.js references.
