Yes.  One more difference: the board I'm testing is bare naked,
sitting on a non-conductive surface.  The parts I'm swapping in and
out are in an Apple resting comfortably in a case.  Grounding, maybe?

I'd be very surprised.  The Apple board doesn't depend on its package
for good (enough) grounds--the AppleCrate boards are connected to ground
only by their power supply connections.
