Thanks, that did it.
For posterity, a more complete answer is to do:
xattr -w com.apple.quarantine [string] [app path]
..where [string] can be copied from the quarantine attribute of some other quarantined application.
Your knowledge of GateKeeper is impressive. Do have any recommendations on where to read more about using the spctl command? The man page shows over 20 parameters and has only 3 usage examples.
Also, on the spctl man page, in the FILES section, it explains where the current and initial distribution of the system policy databases are. Given that, would the following command reset it? Has only one tried this? sudo cp /var/db/.SystemPolicy-default /var/db/SystemPolicy
