I think I figured out what was partially responsible for this, but I'm not sure how it got into this state, or why it was really causing the symptom.
I noticed that the project had a resource filter for any name that matches "target". That immediately jumped out at me. I removed that, and it fixed the problem. None of my other Maven projects had this filter, or the symptom. I think it's pretty unlikely that I added this filter, but I suppose it's possible. Even if I did, the effect of the filter shouldn't have produced this symptom. I should have never seen the "target" folder. It seems like there is a multiple personality in place here. One part was filtering the resource, and another was bringing it back immediately, rinse and repeat.
