Thank you, that was helpful. I did find a version of site-start that I 
wasn't aware was there. Removing it still left me with different 
behavior on the two machines, but it did eliminate one variable.

What finally helped (in case anyone else has a similar issue): I have 
set yap (the MikTeX viewer) to use emacsclientw with arguments "+%l %f 
-n". I wasn't using -n before. As far as I can tell, -n (which means 
"no-wait") invokes emacsclient and then shuts it down (it never appears 
in the task list). Forward and inverse search now work as they should.

There is still one behavioral difference between the two machines that 
is perhaps only a curiousity, but I wonder why it happens. When I 
perform an inverse search on one machine, there is no message in the 
emacs minibuffer window. Whe I perform an inverse search on the other 
machine, using the identical file, the message "foo.tex and foo.tex are 
the same file" appears. I'm not sure what process is producing the 
message or why it occurs on one machine and not the other. If anyone has 
thoughts about that, I would be curious. But the main problem was solved 
by using the -n option.
