This is embarrassingly stupid. Here's a look at what the problem really
turned out to be.

http://tinyurl.com/yab9hfh

That black thing, 1/4" thick at one end, is one of the spacers that's
supposed to go at the base of the walls, to guide you so you leave
enough expansion space around the perimeter. It's in the position I
found it when I lifted the plank. I can't believe I missed seeing it
when I originally laid the plank.

If you look closely at the top right corner, you'll see a diagonal fold
of the type I originally thought caused the problem.

Thanks to all for your comments.

That makes more sense than the fold in the poly.

Chuckle. True story- 71 ford full size wagon, had a lump under the
carpet on the front passenger footwell. Lived with it for over a year
like that, finally one day I couldn't take it anymore. Removed enough
trim to roll the carpet back, and damned if there wasn't a brand new
ignition key assembly, with key, sitting there under the carpet. Some
sort of production line oopsie, I guess. Wonder what they did with the
next car down the line when they didn't have an ignition cylinder to
match the doors?

Moral of the story- you ain't the only one to look at something and not
see it, and lay floor covering over it.
