Yes, it is running on each of the two machines.

Doing just this:
cd /etc/init.d; network-manager stop; networking restart
gave me the desired static IP. Then I ran this:
cd /etc/rc3.d; mv S03network-manager K97network-manager
rebooted and again got the desired static IP.
So assuming I won't miss network-manager, all is well. I still don't
understand why the other box, which is still running network-manager and a
static IP, doesn't have this problem. They're both running updated Wheezy.
Anyway, now I can get back to my real job. Thanks again.
