My first thought was to check my (Windows)POV-Ray menu item, "Options/Script I/O
restrictions" (in case it had changed somehow), but it's set to:
No restrictions
Permit Read/Write in Current Directory
Disable Starting Other programs
BTW, no problem occurs when I run one of the older (3.7-folder) alpha or beta
versions-- just this 3.8.0 variant.

Good news: Adding -cc to the command line DOES work-- the scene now renders!
Thanks for that hint.
So apparently(?), the problem is with the state-file-writing mechanism, in some
way... (at least on my end)...
