There was only one of each and yes, it was an upgrade in the sense that I brought over only the product tables from an older version then ran ZC_install again once they were brought over. That must have been what caused the problem.
I just did a fresh install and it worked properly ..... except that it would not let me do anything in the attributes controller if I had only added a text attribute under option name and there were no other option names listed. It gave me the following error: Warning: No Option Values have been defined
Once I added a "fictitious" option name and added an option value, then I was able to apply the text attribute to the product and marking it required worked.
Just to test... I then went back and deleted the "extra" option name / value so that I was left again with only a text option I had set up, and again got the same error - it would not let me add the text attribute without first setting up a fictitious option name/value that was not TEXT
