I changed the method signature of updateStateRadioChange to no-arg, and it called it properly. It's looking like I'm completely misunderstanding the way in which a ValueChangeListener method is invoked. It's my understanding that when the valueChangeListener attribute is specified for a component, JSF creates the ValueChangeEvent, on submit, and hands it to the listener method. Is this true?
