I have solved the problem on my own… thought I'd share the solution with the group.
First, I upgraded to the latest version of Revo (2.1.5) and Wayfinder (2.3.3)
That didn't fix this entirely, but some of my Wayfinder menus started to work some of the time… and that gave me hope.
Here's what finally worked.
In the context for each subdomain, I created a setting for
friendly_urls with the intention of using ugly urls in the subdomains only. I set friendly_urls in each subdomain to NO.
Instead of overriding the friendly_urls setting of the main context (which I expected) the subdomain just got out of the way and let the web context FURLs do their job
my friendly url settings
my full subdomain settings
