So I finally tracked down what was wrong. It's quite bizarre and
obscure, so hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
I always start my tex files with a couple of \input{template.tex}
commands where template.tex holds all my common definitions, etc.
When I was trying out the complete ref functionality of latex-suite,
i.e. pressing F9 after \ref{, I noticed that I received a flash of an
error message and the reference completion didn't work. I took a
screenshot and it turns out that the Python script that controls much
of what's going on in latex-suite looks for "template.tex.tex", i.e.
it adds on a .tex, even though what I have compiles perfectly fine in
pdflatex.
Changing these to \input{template} makes everything work smoothly.
Fixes the reference problems and the strange viewing problems, and I
imagine other things I haven't even tried yet.
An easy solution to a bewildering problem!
