Currently set to "Create a new alias. Leave the existing alias 
functioning.".  Perhaps I should revise to "do nothing", as this should 
not effect new alias creation for nodes which didn't previously have one, 
I should think.

Yes, that would be ideal.  I don't really want to disable pathauto as 
someone suggested, because it is useful for other things.  It just happens 
that this particular series of nodes is effected adversely by it.
