That still leaves me with the unwanted DHCP address.

Now that looks interesting. On the machine trying to set the static IP, this
is running:
/sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action \
-pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid \
-lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-ea3f96a9-7876-448b-b213-bbd10424e4f7-eth0.lease \
-cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf eth0
The parent process is shown as /usr/sbin/NetworkManager. On my other
machine, which is successfully using a static IP, dhclient is not running.
Both machines have identical versions of /etc/init.d/network-manager, neither
of which shows any obvious call to dhclient.

Thanks, but that caused some real havoc. First I got errors about the
interfaces file, and then shutdown and reboot both went badly.

That is not the problem. I have two distinct static IPs, one for each box.
