xzcvczx: Yup, I set the diameter. It seems like this is very repeatable for me, I'm surprised no one else is seeing something similar.
<TheSocialHacker>
Hmm, it seems to be related to constraining a point on a line that comes from a group that is linked in from another file.
<TheSocialHacker>
I've been trying to create a simple repro case.

Nope, linking a group in was a red herring...

I think the workflow I've developed so far is what's causing this. I've make one file that contains a construction geometry sketch in 3D of a particularly complex path. I then link that into a number of other files, one per part that needs to be placed at various locations along the path and in particular orientations. I then use lines from the original construction geometry to locate features on the parts, which leads to
<TheSocialHacker>
that is constrained in workplanes and on the path.
<TheSocialHacker>
I've done it this way because the path geometry dictates dimensions in the parts that make up the assembly.
<TheSocialHacker>
At first I tried constructing a final assembly out of unrelated parts, but the assembly geometry is defined by relations between parts that has to be known before the parts are constructed...

It's not a show stopper by any means. I just need to be OK with the extra analytic DOFs (which I certainly prefer to trying to use the numeric solver to guess the numeric DOFs). Or I'll have another insight and find a workflow for this project that avoids the ambiguity.
