After much digging, I learned that these issues are nonexistent when I run/modify the tests (as previously described) under VS 2010, but they all rear their heads under VS 2008 (where I develop).  I built VTK with VS 2010.  Rebuilding with VS 2008 solved the problem entirely.

Great to hear, I suspected some kind of issue with your build but was
unfamiliar with the wrapping you were using. You may be interested in
the recently open sourced ActiViz.NET bindings too. This was
previously a commercial offering to bring VTK to .NET. I have never
used .NET or C#, but there are certainly others on here who do.
