Awesome, thanks Ned! FTR (in case it helps others): Ned's "solution" was, formally, among the first things (if not the first thing) I tried, but...for my RGB table, I was using a colormap salvaged from some previous work in matlab using the scipy sub-package scipy.io.mio. All that data was in floating point in the interval [0,1], which I knew, but by the time I guessed that I probably needed to convert it to [0,255], I think I must've made some other change somewhere else and/or neglected to simultaneously enforce that the m x n x 3 array be numpy.uint8 so that, between those other two problems, the solution to my problem was being "masked". :-( Anyway, thanks again!
