Subject: Can't edit geo on a polymesh under this very strange condition...

This is pure wackiness.

I have 3 polymeshes in my scene, all derived from Grid primitives. Transforms 
frozen, modeling frozen, UVs frozen. They are called:
Shrubbery_Card_A
Shrubbery_Card_B
Shrubbery_Card_C

Cards B and C are fine. For Shrubbery_Type_A, I am unable to edit the topology 
in any way (apart from moving points). I cannot duplicate, slice, knife, 
connect, or anything. I get an error every time I try. Here's the error if I 
try to duplicate some polygons:
# ERROR : 2000 - Argument 0 (Target) is invalid
# ERROR : 2001-EDIT-SetValue - Argument 0 is invalid - [line 4163 in C:\Program 
Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\Application\DSScripts\operators.vbs]
Application.DuplicateMeshComponent("", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", 
"", "", "", "")


Now here's the weird part. I can rename 'Shrubbery_Card_A' to ANYTHING ELSE and 
I can edit the mesh just fine. But if I name it specifically 'Shrubbery_Card_A' 
I lose all ability to edit the geometry (again, apart from moving things). So I 
can actually rename it to something else, delete and add points as usual, and 
then rename it back to 'Shrubbery_Card_A' to essentially lock the ability to 
edit it.

I have tried Extract Delete: same thing.
I have tried relaunching the scene: same thing.
I tried restarting XSI: same thing.
I can, however, duplicate cards B or C and rename those to 'Shrubbery_Card_A' 
and everything is fine.

Any idea why the name of a polymesh would prohibit the editing of its topology, 
and throw this error?
