AHA!!!

I do not know exactly why, but I discovered via judicious debugger
usage that @project was no longer valid during the ajax update of my
table-plus.  However, "this" was the current project.  So, it now
appears to be updating correctly, having changed the context line for
my table-plus from

      <table-plus with="&@project.project_custodians" ...
to
      <table-plus with="&this.project_custodians" ...

Now, on to further testing.
