Well, shucks, not so fast.....
After "fixing" the problem in an earlier version of the mod, I must have made some changes somewhere else the game didn't like, and my error returned.
After a painstaking process of removing units a few at a time, I was able to isolate the unit - when it was in the mod, the game crashed on moving to Strategic View. Fair enough. But, looking at all the data, the unit is set up correctly.
I even built a new mod with just this unit in it, and of course, it works just fine...
So - I'm back to the point where if the unit is in the mod, we crash in Strategic. But the unit looks to be set up correctly in the mod and does in fact work in a different mod.
Does anyone have any "curve ball" suggestions on how to troubleshoot an error that isn't really an error but still crashes the game?
Edit: the unit in question is the V1 Rocket in this mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1562440077
The model was originally this one:
https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/civ5-v1-flying-bomb.21331/
And the unit works perfectly - in the normal game. Animations, etc., no problem with the unit definition otherwise.
I'm starting to think the error is something completely different, but causing an externality that presents itself as this strat view crash.
Edit 2: Here is the defining code:

The V1 Rocket is a one-shot unit which is destroyed when it attacks an enemy target. It may be based in a player-owned friendly city or unit that can carry missiles. They may move from base to base or attack an enemy unit or city with their range of '4'. See the rules on Missiles for more information.

The V1 Rocket is a World War II Era Missile Unit, available at the discovery of Synthetics. It becomes obsolete at the discovery of Jet Engines. Upgrades to the V2 Rocket.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]The V-1 flying bomb (German: Vergeltungswaffe 1 "Vengeance Weapon 1")—also known to the Allies as the buzz bomb, or doodlebug, and in Germany as Kirschkern (cherrystone) or Maikaefer (maybug)—was an early cruise missile and the only production aircraft to use a pulsejet for power.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]The V-1 was the first of the so-called "Vengeance weapons" (V-weapons or Vergeltungswaffen) series designed for terror bombing of London. It was developed at Peenemünde Army Research Center in 1939 by the Nazi German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. During initial development it was known by the codename "Cherry Stone". Because of its limited range, the thousands of V-1 missiles launched into England were fired from launch facilities along the French (Pas-de-Calais) and Dutch coasts.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]The first V-1 was launched at London on 13 June 1944, one week after (and prompted by) the successful Allied landings in Europe. At peak, more than one hundred V-1s a day were fired at south-east England, 9,521 in total, decreasing in number as sites were overrun until October 1944, when the last V-1 site in range of Britain was overrun by Allied forces. After this, the V-1s were directed at the port of Antwerp and other targets in Belgium, with 2,448 V-1s being launched. The attacks stopped only a month before the war in Europe ended, when the last launch site in the Low Countries was overrun on 29 March 1945.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]The British operated an arrangement of air defenses, including anti-aircraft guns and fighter aircraft, to intercept the bombs before they reached their targets as part of Operation Crossbow, while the launch sites and underground V-1 storage depots were targets of strategic bombing.

Using SQLiteSpy - I can see all the database updates, so the unit is added correctly - something I knew because it actually works in game.
