Whatever was wrong doesn't seem to be a permanent problem. The winder
is working fine now, but I did reproduce the problem once. After
shorting the contacts I measured about 4.5-5VDC on the contacts, and
shorting them or mounting a camera body caused the motor to run
continuously without tripping the shutter. Once it 'reset' itself and
began operating normally again, I measured about 20mVDC across the
contacts.
At least its working now... I don't think I'm going to mess with it
much more.
Thanks to all for the help, links, schematics, etc!

Does the motor keep running but nothing happens, or is the shutter
winding and firing non-stop? If the former, I would suspect that the
rubber ring inside between the wind gears has dissolved -- that would
require removing and disassembling the wind mechanism to replace the
ring. If the latter, I would check for short circuits, or perhaps one
of the traces on the circuit has been cut by improper assembly (long
screw in wrong hole, etc.).
