Solved....see if you can spot the problem:

self.usrp_master.tune(0, self.wbx0_subdev, freq)
self.usrp_master.tune(1, self.wbx1_subdev, freq)
self.usrp_slave.tune(0, self.wbx2_subdev, freq)
self.usrp_slave.tune(0, self.wbx3_subdev, freq)

/facepalm

(The final line's 0 should be a 1. the daughtercards were getting tuned
properly, but the 4th DDC was not). Everything looks fine now. Sorry for
suspecting the hardware, Matt!
