I haven't read every word in the thread, so bare with me. Do you use
distilled water? And you only process in Houston?
It seems like you have a peckle of problems or potential problems. Had any
of this shown up before?
I have not worked with the BZ.. Tubes, so do they turn at a constant rate?
And you have checked it lately for constant rate?
The reciprocity failure has been ruled out on both films? You say several
seconds, what kind of light source? Daylight? street light?
I'd make sure your developer is OK by using fresh film in daylight
conditions; shoot and develop to 18% gray. Then move on to scenic that is
same as before with fresh developer and working light meter.

What time of the year was it when developing both films? I'm trying to find
out if developing temperature could have made a difference, but I didn't get
an answer to my first question.
I did them both within a few days of each other, just this week. It's still
summer in Houston. It's summer all the time here, except for a few days in
january. I develop at 70 degrees.
