In case this helps other wary travelers--

Whoops... This was user error (as is often the case, eh?):

$ cd $DEPLOYED_SAKAI/shared/lib
$ ls -l sakai-samigo-services*
-rw-r--r-- 2 serensoft root 527200 2009-09-08 00:25
sakai-samigo-services-2.6.0RC1-SNAPSHOT.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 serensoft root 528739 2009-10-02 01:48
sakai-samigo-services-2.6-SNAPSHOT.jar

Old JAR and new JAR side by side -- got rid of the old one and
everything is smooth sailing now.

That is, starting up Tomcat with the old jars alongside the new jars,
Instructors saw stack traces and students didn't -- once we got rid of
the old jars and restarted Tomcat, Instructors no longer saw stack
traces (the interface was working as it should).

Interestingly, Samigo was the only place where we noticed this problem
manifesting itself -- we had old jars and new jars for all tools and
libraries; only Samigo exhibited a problem.

Weird!
