Root cause turned out to be an outdated commons-io jar I had installed for
another project in the Jenkins user's ~/Library/Java/Extensions directory.
When I updated to the latest version, both Jenkins and the other project
were happy. The problem manifested at the time of the upgrade attempt
because that was the first time the Jenkins slave on that host had been
restarted since the installation of the outdated jar.
