Just thought I'd update.

After lots of digging - and tracing Flash player debug info - it turns out
it's a completely different issue (after a fashion).  The SWF is loading
correctly, but the URL to "https://dev.company1.org/flex2gateway/'" isn't
visible externally.  So, indeed it couldn't load the gateway config.  There
was still a sandbox violation occurring because the REMOTE was trying to go
to a different server - and that had to be resolved before the true issue
hit me on the head - but part of the reason I couldn't get it to work is
that both issues threw the exact same error message in the Flash player.  It
wasn't until I traced it that I noticed something was slightly different
with the crossdomain.xml properly set.

This opens a completely different can of worms concerning what's wrong, how
to fix it and implications of how some of these apps are/will be deployed.

For future reference, if you include "allow-http-request-headers-from" in
your crossdomain.xml file, you need to use domain names.  If you remove that
property (just setting the "allow-access-from"), setting domain="*" works
and gives you a good start for troubleshooting.....

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
