An update. The problem was solved by purging (apt-get purge sgf2dg) and reinstalling the package. There must have been something bad in my installation. I do not know what that was because I have not consciously changed or played with any components of sgf2dg.
The lesson is to try a purge and reinstall before making another bug report. Thanks, John Green.
