Sam - I looked at it, and also placed a dummy version of it in a blank board file and it worked OK. Two things to try - maybe you did already... 1) Try to place the symbol in the board, as just a symbol, not as the actual part. Make sure you're pulling form the library, though I suspect since it blew your part away that's the only place it would look. 2) Try opening a brand new board and placing the part there. If that works, as it did for me, it says there's something incompatible between the board and the part. I looked at text sizes, but Allegro seems to make a new text size to accommodate the size in the symbol if it doesn't already exist, so that's not it.

I made the board outline bigger. I enter numbers in part extents to see if anything was attached. I made sure the datum was at 0,0. Still part gives me errors. I guess recreating in only option left.
