I couldn't reproduce this bug with your test file.

It seemed to have to do with loading, so I restarted emacs without
pre-loading org (ie, I commented it out of my .emacs).  I only found a
dependency on org-agenda, and once that was loaded, no more error.  So I
couldn't reproduce it.

Right.

Hm, I didn't look at sets with just two states.  Now that I look at it,
yes, that works but not in the best way it could.  Because I never
contemplated "0" and "-" being properties of the same mark, it has to be
speced as something like:

        #+CHOOSE_TODO: NO(n,-) YES(y,0)
