And... that was indeed the problem. I had two SMPCs that had the same config data. I think this must be an SMPC bug. It sure made me have a most interesting Sunday afternoon. It is now fixed. I understand that SMPC names are going to go through some change when Seam 1.1.1 (?) is out. I would suggest to the Seam crew, figure out why there is interaction between SMPC and virt. hosts because this was a nightmare and I almost feel that I figure it out through sheer lucky inspiration.
