Well crap.
I changed the entry activity (MAIN, LAUNCHER) to my app in the
manifest (swapped it with another activity, actually).
Install. Android tries to launch the old entry activity.
Uninstall, reinstall -- no change.
Factory reset the phone -- install -- NEW ENTRY ACTIVITY RECOGNIZED!
Swap back to the old entry activity (just to see), and *it* now fails.
So....I HOPE NO ONE EVER CHANGES THE ENTRY ACTIVITY OF THEIR PROGRAM
WHEN THEY ISSUE AN UPDATE OR THEIR USERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ERASE
THEIR PHONES.
Guess I'll put in a do-nothing "entry stub activity" that does
nothing but launches the real entry point and then finish(), so at
least I am protected should I want to make a change in the future.
Please someone tell me I have made a stupid error here.

This is 1.1 on a G1. Manifest:
<activity android:name="ActivityEntry"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
