Well, software powering off the card and resetting the system doesn't 
help. It's like it scans through the cards in order, and even though the 
card with the DFC3a in slot 1 is disabled, it has already detected 3a as 
the operating mode for the system by the time it gets around to the sup in 
slot 5:

*Mar 30 08:15:35.652 UTC: %C6KPWR-SP-4-DISABLED: power to module in slot 1 set off (admin request)
*Mar 30 08:15:54.572 UTC: %OIR-SP-6-DOWNGRADE_EARL: Module 5 PFC installed is not identical to system PFC and will perform at current system operating mode.

So, it seems the only way to force the system back into 3BXL mode is to 
physically remove the card and then power cycle?

*sigh* Too many years w/jnpr, I keep forgetting to lower my expectations.
