Thanks everyone for the prompt replies.  With lots of commenting out
sections and trial/error, I found the problematic constraint.  I had a
constraint inside a class that was based upon an array. The array is defined
in the class such as this:

        <attribute name="range_array" type="expression" value="$once{new
Array()}"/>

The constraint was like this:

        <view visible="${classroot.range_array.length>1}">

This was the point of failure.  To resolve, I made an attribute that held
the current value of the array's length.  I then modified the constraint to
use this attribute value instead, and it works!  Problem solved!
