Hi, Art -- Thanks for all of these ideas -- all well worth checking. Here are the early results:
* The \+ produces the non-breaking hyphen. * I deleted all unused paragraph formats except Ch. 1, which has all the formats my normal books require. The autonumbered paragraphs in Ch. 1 use only the A, H, and U numbering streams. * I created a FigTest format for Ch. 4 and assigned in a Q: numbering stream. Everything still turns out as Fig. 4-1 (for all four figures in this sub-chapter). * I imported the paragraph formats for Ch. 4 into all of the other chapters and updated the book. Still no luck. I remain stymied but hopeful for more ideas.

(> F:Fig.\ <$chapnum>\+<n+>< >\t). * Is it possible that another tag, somewhere in the book is using the F: numbering stream? You may be able to check that by modifying that tag just in the files that make up Chapter 4, maybe changing it to f: or any other unused letter. * And you've applied the same set of tags to all affected files using Import Formats?
