I don't have any mythtv-setup logs. A sample mythbackend log can be found
at http:/www.gregandeva.net/mythbackend.20180525221030.14822.log.txt

The problem is illustrated by the first line containing "slave".

What I do have is some old database dumps, and it looks like Peter Bennett
hit the nail on the head. The old database does not have a MasterServerName
value in the settings table. The newer database, after unchecking and
rechecking the "This is the master  backend server" box, does have this. So
what hosed me up all along was that mythtv-setup was showing me that it was
running on the master backend server, when in fact this was not actually
set up correctly in the database. So whatever process upgrades the database
between 0.28 and 0.29 appears to have missed this.
