On a hunch, I backed out these commits that added the lookup intent
open patches:

a6ce4932fbdbcd8f8e8c6df76812014351c32892
bc8cd4390c9129fbd286b10fa99972dfb68cd069
88dd47fff4891545bfcfdf39146dde8380771766

...and that seems to have fixed the problem. Steve, it might be best to
back out those patches for now.
