Problem solved. It was a failed inverter. Argh.
Long story:
After measuring voltages, wire continuity, and currents (the easy stuff), everything indicated it was a failed inverter. Luckily (so I thought) I had an identical model replacement inverter. I swapped inverters and the problem didn't go away. Based on that I concluded (incorrectly) that the inverter wasn't the issue. That led me to further about 10 hours of work checking of wiring, individual panels, etc.
After I was exhausted checking everything else and not finding any issues, I decided to purchase a replacement inverter. Installed the new inverter and voila - the system worked great.
I hope my experience can be helpful for someone. Thank you for everyone's responses.
