Seems I needed to read the wiki a little better:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Digital_Sound
The appropriately titled "How do I get 5.1 AC3 audio to work again? "
was the key.
I guess I missed the part about running "iecset audio off" before
doing "iecset -x" to find the AES configuration string.  All is well
now..
