Mmm.. further to that:  the problem went away as soon as I told
it to tune to a different channel.  No more fallbacks (for now).
It can now even retune the original channel without fallbacks.

So.. tuning to a new channel appears to fix whatever the bad state was
that was triggering the fallbacks.  Based on my sample of one, anyway. ;)

Now that it is behaving again, I cannot poke further until the next time
I'm lucky enough to be around when it fails.
