And I found it.  It's the debugger, and its long-known deficiencies.

Two things were happening:

1) when opening the palette stack, a closeField was sent to the field whose
handler was opening it.
2) The debugger ignored the closefField while single-stepping.  It didn't
even not step into it; it didn't call it at all.

So score one more for livecode behaving differently in and out of the
debugger.

Thanks to everyone.  That part is running again . . .
