John Mensinger May 30, 2014 12:33 PM (in response to RobertKyle)I can't answer for the prior behavior, but chances are, your preferences are set to "Overprint the [Black] Swatch at 100%" (See Preferences > Appearance of Black)
Experiment with setting the rule color at something less than 100%K.

rob day May 30, 2014 2:55 PM (in response to RobertKyle)It sounds like the green text is set to overprint (the black overprint won't matter because it is behind the type). You have to turn on Overprint Preview to see the print effects of overprinting. So here you can see my window shows I have [Overprint Preview] on, with the top green line set to OP and the bottom line set to knockout:

RobertKyle May 30, 2014 3:17 PM (in response to rob day)Thanks, both for helping me find the right direction.
In this case, the scene of the crime turned out to be the character style that invokes the green swatch. In the Character Color settings, there's a checkbox for Overprint Fill. It was in a mixed state: checked but grayed out. Two clicks turned it on and off, and that did the trick.
It was in the same off state in our old template too. Odd that it would work one way there and another way on the new page. But the old template will be dead in a few days, so I ain't all that curious.

rob day May 30, 2014 4:02 PM (in response to RobertKyle)With Overprint on you would expect the problem.
Some printers turn off overprints in their preflight, or if there's a color conversion at output you would likely get some black in the conversion and the overprint would no longer happen
