Charlie,
   Thank you for that tip. I guess the setting must be turned on in the new update. I turned off enabling background face recognition scan and things are back to behaving as I expect them to be.

The tool tip says "Set this option to automatically start a new background face recognition scan when a new face is tagged."  I don't see that item documented at https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/miscs_settings.html#scan-operations but it does appear in that screenshot.
