Debug has found the following (in both /opt/rt3/bin/rt and RT::Client::REST::Forms and RT::Client::REST::Object):

	* $CF_name defines the list of valid characters in a custom field name.  The field before my missing custom field had a question-mark in it (?).  This caused the field matching in the form parse routine to fail.
	* The RT::Client::REST::Object did further parsing to break down the attributes into a __cf hash.  It re-parsed the custom field names.  Same deal, question-mark.

Sending a patch through to the CPAN.  Single-character addition ;)
