Dialed up the debugging noise for the apache logs to debug, and found this:

[Sun Mar 30 10:07:35 2014] [debug] mod_deflate.c(615): [client 24.84.162.51] Zlib: Compressed 317 to 213 : URL /wp-admin/async-upload.php, referer: https://bclaconnect.ca/wp-admin/media-new.php

[Sun Mar 30 10:07:35 2014] [debug] mod_deflate.c(615): [client 24.84.162.51] Zlib: Compressed 325 to 249 : URL /wp-uploads/2014/03/chicken-silhouette-64x64.png

So it looks like wp-admin/async-upload.php is munging the upload path which mod_deflate receives, possibly?

Network upgrade would not complete whiile SSL was enabled. Changed all my URLs to http:// and then ran the network upgrade (3.6.1. > 3.7.1) and the logs have quieted down.

This would *seem* to be a bug.

Thanks for the input Chris. Alas, these sugggestions seem not to have the desired effect.

I have discovered that there seems to be an issue using shortcodes with multisite with subdirectoriies(?) I am able to get a shortcode to render if it is in a plugin activated on the base blog (blog 1). It seems that shortcodes will not work from subdirectory-activated plugins. This is really puzzling. I can’t imagine this is true for everyone. There would be a mass developer outcry against such restrictions.

Here is a restatement of my code in case something jumps out at someone.

if( ! class_exists('RSConferenceDisplay')) : 

include_once( ABSPATH.'wp-includes/pluggable.php');
include_once( ABSPATH.'wp-includes/shortcodes.php');

class RSConferenceDisplay {
	function __construct() {
		add_action( 'init', array( &$this, '_init' ) );

		add_shortcode('rsconf_regform',array( &$this, 'rsconf_registration_form' ));
	}

	function _init() {
		error_log( __CLASS__.'::'.__FUNCTION__ );
	}

	public function rsconf_registration_form() {
		error_log( __CLASS__.'::'.__FUNCTION__ );
		$out = array( '<div class="rsc_registration">');
		$out[] = '<h1>Shortcode</h1>';
		$out[] = '</div><!-- .rsc_registration -->';
		return implode("\n",$out);
	}
}

if( ! isset( $rsdisplay )) {
	global $rsdisplay;
	$rsdisplay = new RSConferenceDisplay();
}
endif;

I see the _init method firing when the plugin loads, but the shortcode does not get replaced in the page which calls it.

I’ve discovered that using the mu-plugins folder, and a proxy file apprpriately named (alphabetical execution order), it is possible to load the submenu elements as must use plugins and in the order I want.

Ah ha! ;-P
Thanks for taking the time. The quality of your feedback is most excellent. I do not require sortability for this case, so I was able to resolve it by creating an arbitrary column and feeding the data I needed visible when that column was hooked.
Thanks, bcworkz. Top notch.

Had to install in the shared wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder, not a symllinked ref.
