OK, that helps.

For me, the bug bites intermittently.  I often run an Emacs 
instance for more than a week before I'm bitten, so it will likely 
be a long process to work through the packages loaded on top of 
what Spacemacs loads to make a reproducer.

Also, I anticipate a problem deciding that removing a package has 
squashed the bug; will two weeks without the bug be long enough? 
Three?  Four or more?

I've found that I can work around the bug by moving the headline 
up or down.  Once this is done, the headline unfolds.  Then, when 
I move it back to its original position, it still unfolds 
properly.  For me, this is easier than my first workaround, which 
involved stopping and re-starting the Emacs instance.

Possibly related, I intermittently get bits of text following the 
ellipsis that indicates a folded headline.  My impression is that 
this happens when the bug has bitten a folded headline, but if I 
remember correctly, the bug and the bits of text following the 
ellipsis are not on the same heading.  I'll check systematically 
next time I see this, if you think it might help.

All the best,
Tom
