My wife (who is a much better Googler than I) found a discussion in a
Gnucash forum of exactly this issue:

 http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Problem-printing-checks-td4684960.html

The upshot of it is that this is a bug introduced in 2.6.12 . The reason I
never saw it in F23 was that, prior to just before my system-upgrade, I had
not done an update in F23 in a long time, so I was still running 2.6.11,
which does not have the bug. F24 has 2.6.12, with the bug. A fix has been
committed to 2.6.13, but Fedora doesn't have this yet (at least not in the
normal updates repo).

So I just grabbed the old 2.6.11 package and did a "dnf downgrade", and I
am back to 2.6.11 and it works again.
