A couple of comments here:

- I know that I won't be able to get them to change browser version,
i.e., I'm stuck with trying to get this problem resolved with the
existing NS 4.79, but I may be able to get them to go to PSM 1.2.

- My first thought when I started investigating this problem was that it
might be a problem with the CA cert, as you suggested.  But, our help
desk people are claiming that tons of other people have imported this
same CA cert without encountering the problem I saw.  I know those
"other people" are all on NS 4.79, but I'm not 100% sure if they're
still using PSM 1.2 (trying to find out).  That's why I was hoping that
if I could find PSM 1.2 somewhere, I could try installing it on just one
of the workstations that I saw the problem on, then try the import
again.  If the problem disappears, then I can tell that the problem was
with PSM 1.1, and then try to make the case for going to PSM 1.2.

I've searched and searched, and I find it hard to believe that someone,
somewhere, doesn't have PSM 1.2 on some archive or something...

Hah!  You're better than you remembered :)!!!  Doing a File->Open Page,
then browsing to the .JAR file in Navigator did the install :)!!
