Thank you all for your help in trying to resolve this issue.

My solution in the end was clone the VM from a snapshot shortly after it was
built, apply package upgrades, then build/install Erlang and Rebar3 from GitHub
repos.  Not ideal, but its a VM and most of my work-in-progress was pushed to
external repos.  Starting from a "clean" base appears to have resolved the
issue, though still no idea how the problem came about.
