Well, I think I have this one sorted out. Here's how it boiled down
for me, in case anyone else gets anything similar:
1) Reflowed *every* solder joint on the filter board. Added a bit of
solder to the ones that looked like they could handle a little more
2) Reinstalled the filterboard and experienced *no* change (still
9.9:1swr, no appreciable power out).
3) Tuned around to find some kind of signal.
4) Repeaked the filters (they did take a bit of adjusting, and signals
got stronger)
5) Asked the KAT1 to tune.. it found 1.6:1 this time. Tested
transmitting, and while no one responded, the rig was showing 4 watts
out.
So, I guess the filters were far enough out of whack to be blocking
the signals I wanted. Adjusting them again seemed to do the trick!
Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions (and, the "shadow" one
person saw turned out to just be a bit of solder resin). Now, if I
can just find something decent on 15M :)

Folks,
I built my K1 around the end of last year (my favourite xmas
present!). Originally I had a 2 band module with 80/15 on it. A few
months later, I bought a second 2 bander, with 40/30. The 40/30 works
fine on both bands, but I can't get 15 to play nice on the 80/15
module!
