Aha! Thank you for getting back to us on the fix. The fact that the stove has a secondary pressure regulator simply didn't register in my mind, even though I have seen it. I bet that the repair place boosted the regulator setting a bit, which was enough to cause a previously-weak flame to burn stronger and stay on. This adjustment is not something that a home handyman like me can or should do, since it requires a special tool - a manometer - and I don't have one. But from now on we'll know where to look when this problem arises, and will be able to make better suggestions.
Incidentally, there are a lot of articles online about build-your-own-manometer. I'm cautious, and fussy enough about gas plumbing, that I probably won't do it, but it seems simple enough. The remaining question, then, is what the pressure at the regulator output should be set to. I've read in many places that you can't really set it by eyeball - by simply looking at the flame.
