I can't explain exactly what may have been wrong with the unrepaired
database; but, for now at least, I think I'm good to go. Thanks to
all who offered ideas and advice; and the kewpie doll goes to Tim
Mansour, who raised the possibility of file corruption.
There was likely nothing wrong with the database. If you go back to
the Recover dialog and specify the "Advanced" options you'll see that
one of the options is to "Delete cached settings." If you had selected
only this option you likely would have seen the same thing.
Look at your Recover Log. It will tell you if the recover process
changed anything or not.
