Here is another puzzle.
After doing some testing, and then telling the mount to move back home, the crosshairs were wrong.
They were below the horizon towards the east.

Here is what INDI was showing just before it crashed.

At the same point, querying the mount from a python script showed the proper Alt and Az:

kbahey@tilapia:~/projects/OnStep/onstep-python$ examples/test-timeouts.py
0.040 GR 11:13:36#
0.070 GD +90*00:00#
0.050 GZ 000*00:00#
0.049 GA +43*25:07#

So something in INDI is messed up.

Upon restarting KStars and INDI, the RA/DEC were correct and incrementing.

So something else is going on.
