I finally got a trivial test file.  It's a dumb error in my markup.  If
you balance the open parenthesis in the composer name with a close
parenthesis, you don't get the problem, but if you use the close curly

When I die and there's a memorial service, I want you to go to the
piano and play _The Man I Love_ in my key. If I don't come out on that
stage, then you'll know I'm gone.

in fact play _The Man I Love._)
