That's the problem.  The filenames show up, but their icons are displayed as
a dotted outline (no icon), no file path is displayed at the bottom of the
Search window, and essentially there is no way I can find to access the
files.

When something goes wrong while saving a stack, Rev creates a backup file
with the hope being one can recover work from the backup.  I think these are
the same files files, but when a save executes successfully, something is
done to them so they don't show up normally in the Finder.
