I was not explicitly beginning or ending a transaction. However, this response inspired me to try the obvious (in hindsight):
connection.setAutocommit(true)
And hey presto, it worked. The odd thing is that not one single example/tutorial I looked at anywhere explicitly sets autocommit, so figuring this out was a guessing game. On the bright side, I won't forget about setting autocommit to true in a hurry!
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
