It's working now.

Your almanac suggestion may be the key.  I didn't add the battery to this 
board so I could look for startup quirks from a really cold start.

There is an interesting tangle with cold starts.  Relative to the marketing 
speak of startup times, it takes a long long time to download an almanac.  
Can a unit provide time before that?  My guess is they compiled in a default 
GPS-UTC offset.  This is a reasonably new chip.  It might be newer than 2012 
so a then current default would be correct until a few days ago.

I've got lots of log files.  It will take me a while to dig out the right 
data.  More later.
