OK, I've tracked down the REAL problem, finally, I hope!!!! At some point I tried to use the nvidia-glx-new drivers, and found that they didn't work with my card. I also once tried nvidia's binary driver installer, which is quite likely the most frustrating mistake I've ever made since it seems to be at the root of every problem I've suffered with drivers in the six months since. And along the way I somehow ended up with /usr/lib/libGL*.100.14.19 libraries which should have been removed when the matching nvidia driver binary was uninstalled.
When I install nvidia-glx (or probably any number of other packages) they run ldconfig, which moves those links to the most recent libraries. SO..... There is no bug.
