I also posted this to the update thread itself.  Then I saw option X in a seperate thread, which said 'make your own thread if you have a problem not addressed here'.  So here it is:
I made a copy of the borked save, but it's too large to attach herein.  I did attach the hpl.log file as requested.

Basically, there's a shipping container with some crates and, like, I dunno, a wire spool or something clumped together.  If you jump up on top of there, you can fall in between the 3 objects (so the container is behind you, the crates to your right, and the spool or whatever to your left).  See the screenshot above for more details.
Well, I'm a doofus.  I'll create a REAL thread in a minute ...
