Whatever went wrong must have caused a caching error.  So it was correctly created in the database but the cache incorrectly thought it was missing.  I clicked "clear the cache" and it fixed this particular problem, but I would certainly like to find the root issue.

Was there anything unusual about the way you created this card?

if i remember correctly, i changed the cardtype to "search", but then too quickly clicked submit (or something else) while it was still processing.
