Well, I tried some of the stuff Ray suggested, but without much success. He did seem to think, as I did, that there was some sort of configuration bug or mistake afoot. The solution turned out to be downloading and installing the latest release of Freesco, in which the problem seems to have been fixed. So, dhcp is now working fine on those interfaces on which I need it to run.
