I have posted a short explanation of some of the things that happened, I
have a much longer post mortem that I can post if there's sufficient
interest.

This is an almost totally unrelated problem and has to do with the way
seconday MXing works.

A few chi.il.us sites have secondary MX records that point to gargoyle at
The University of Chicago.  These have been in place for a few years, some
time ago gargoyle changed its name, and the MX configuration managed to
give it a name it didn't like.

The problem is known, and being addressed.  The nameserver on clout has
been updated, and if this problem recurs further changes can be made.
