It's been several years and an SP or two since I actually saw this problem!
Turned out to be some sort of corruption in the user profiles. A "new user"
account was the accepted cure.
After things worked properly, the old user accounts were removed. Finally
the new user account was changed to the desired users name, etc.
(I had to skip the gory step by details, since I don't remember them.)
