| Nevermind. Problem solved. The bug continued through four successive gameplay attempts, BTW, including two reboots.
In case anybody has this difficulty in the future: what worked must have been either 1) removing the other members of my party before boarding, or 2) turning off the hardware enabled mouse, or 3) a combination of both the above. Whatever it was--it solved the issue.
