With the confusion surrounding the pairings of the public / private keys, I
thought that there was still a possibility that it was encrypted using the
public key from Bob's original certificate, which I don't think I have the
private key.  I'll do some more testing and see what I can come up with.
The RSA code I'm using has only been successfully used for signature
verification, and it's possible that I'm running into some kind of
signed/unsigned big integer conversion error or some such thing.
