Bob,
There is really no reason to add a neighbor statement to a spoke router with
priority 0 on the interface. You only need the neighbor statement on one
side, preferably on the DR for the NBMA network.

Fellow sufferers:

Be aware of the following regarding 2500-jos56i-l.121-5.T9.bin: If your
frame interface has ip ospf priority 0, which is recommended for spokes,
OSPF will not take a neighbor statement. You can enter it, but it does not
show up in the config. Neighbor relationships still form, but your config
will not show a neighbor statement.

If I were you, I would point this out to anyone evaluating on the basis of
printed configs rather than running configs.

Any comment or insight regarding what I consider to be this strange behavior
would be welcome.

-Bob
