Selection set problem using -rx

I've been reading along for a long time, so I know the drill.  Anything
obscure enough to stump me and two other longer-time fP programmers is going
to involve a weird detail.  I'm logged into the fP room (though with a muted
mic and low volume since I reside in a cube) to be available for quick
questions, etc.

No luck there (and I went to eyeball it again just to make sure).  Month
data is in the same format (e.g. '03") in all locations involved.

Also keep in mind that all the selections work on the test machine using
identical syntax across the board, and they work even for the "problem" file
in production if specified as "03" and "2004" *within* a selection set
rather than being *passed in*.

If it helps, the map and key I used on my test area was recently copied
there from the production machine (past 3-4 days) and appears to still be
the same in both locations.  And aside from the keys and indices involved,
all the processing is newly written and copied over from test this morning,
so there should not be ghost copies floating around.  

Sample data:
ATT_CLA
unitcd ; code of unit: WY
clanum ; number of class on unit:  1828
year ; year of record: 2004
month ; month of record: 03
...


ATT_CLA_TEA
unitcd ; code of unit: WY
teacd ; teacher code: W1008
year ; year of record: 2004
month ; month of record: 03
...
