Did you just change a LM cart?  I've experienced on two occasions
differences in LM intensity after changing a cart.  This can effect
the magenta/green balance.  The first time it was a very slight
difference, the 2nd time was more pronounced.  I assume it's
differences in production batches.

This wasn't at all subtle. It's fixed now, however -- it turned out to
be a faulty LM cart -- when I changed it out, my prints went back to
normal. 

Thanks for the tip, though, it did lead me to the problem.
