Answer 1

There was a bug in .refactorlog file...

Answer 2

I accidentally reproduced this by using the Refactor menu tool to rename some columns, making several other changes, then UNDOING all changes via TFS.

A couple of original refactor items were left in the .refactorlog file after the Undo. Once I removed them from the xml, publishing worked as expected.
