Yes.

The original borkage? Well, I did some reconfiguration on my DNS server to
add a new bonjour subdomain as per the instructions on dns-sd.org. I then
attempted to use the "use dynamic global hostname" to register a dynamic
hostname with my DNS server, but it didn't work, maybe because...

...no, I didn't.

But after I did this and it didn't work, I removed the bonjour subdomain
and all references to it from the DNS server, and set the client to _not_
"use dynamic global hostname", and that's when I noticed that the problem
persists. I never did anything on the command line on the client over the
course of the entire episode.

(the problem, to reiterate in case people don't want to go back to the
beginning of the thread: the client can "dig", but cannot "ping", the host
"babylon4.tffenterprises.com" (which happens to be a CNAME to a dyndns.org
name)... the "ping" reports that the host does not exist. Other clients
using the same DNS server do not exhibit the problem.)
