I have not used that overlay, and don't know what's happening, but in
general when the overlay address changes, you need to delete and
re-add the overlay. So I always try that if I get a strange error like
you're getting.

Thanks for the tip but that seems to cause even more strange behavior.
Deleting says it is not there; adding says it is already there.

There were changes to layman lately, maybe you need to rename or
change your config. In layman.cfg I see this:
In my layman.cfg I see:
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# The list of locally installed overlays
installed: %(storage)s/installed.xml
# This has been renamed from the following
# old name : value use it for updating to new one above
# local_list: %(storage)s/overlays.xml
# either rename the overlays.xml file to installed.xml
# or edit the value above to the current name of your
# installed overlay(s) file.
