I don't really mind doing without tikz (at least for now), but it would be good to know the cause of the weird behaviour!
Then I think you will have to strip down your fault-provoking code to something manageable, John; "necessary and sufficient" is the key -- you have provided the necessary, now it is surely incumbent on you to strip it down to the necessary if others are to be able to help you in finite time.
