Strange sequence of circumstances in this one. I typically lock in on a version string in my environment after getting everything running in production to prevent any future updates from inadvertently breaking something. In this case, this was the first trip to production with Thinking Sphinx. It just so happens that the conversion from Ferret to Sphinx started a couple weeks ago and my dev system wound up with 1.1.24. Pat released 1.2 last Saturday just before I started the Production server configuration and I didn't notice the change in version number between dev and prod. If I'd have started on the prior Friday as opposed to this Monday I never would have hit this storm. My bad. I completely agree with you on version settings in environment and have got that locked in now that everything is working!
For the group, we are awfully lucky to have Pat leading this effort. It was a matter of minutes from my original post to his reply with incredibly helpful and productive assistance! He got the issue identified with alacrity (in fact, I think he knew where the problem was but I confused him with differing versions between dev and prod!) and he whipped out a fix in 10 minutes. Think you'll get that kind of support elsewhere? You'd be dead wrong - which is the main reason for switching from Ferret. Thank you Pat!
