Well I took apart the shifter, and discovered one of the pieces of the ratchet mechanism was frozen in place. (Bassically the downshift lever would only push on the white piece of plastic, and its little hook thing would never engage the gears -- if that makes sense :-) ). Oiled that piece up, and the thing works like a charm!

And actually, I've had quite a bit of success oiling brifters --- my rx100's on my previous road bike needed it about once a month.
