Yes.  The "backwards masking" item was created in PCB, with a dotfile
that had gotten scrambled somewhere along the way.  Likely I hadn't
noticed before because aside from simple little tests I'd been working
with layouts initialized by gsch2pcb that brought in their own sane
layer stack.  That mixup was definitely *not* PCB's default, as it was
sane when I ran it from a test account that didn't have a messed-up
(or any) local config in ~/.pcb

Nope.  Their defaults are different (and gsch2pcb should be easier to
change than editing the source (IIRC the FAQ item I just skimmed
over)), but they are both sane by default.

Yeah, that was it.  :-)  And I had even found it once before...
