Aha.  From this bit of code in cli.pm:

        return defined($rc_arg)
                ? $rc_arg
                : $default;

it appears that whatever is set in /etc/nuvexportrc overrides the name
used on the command line and I have xvid set in my nuvexportrc.  Seems
rather counter-intuitive to me that it should work that way, especially
since nuvexportrc otherwise provides defaults for values that can be
changed in nuvexport.

Removing the default in /etc/nuvexportrc has things working perfectly.
