Thank you, Martin! With that information plus output of `riak-admin cluster partitions --node=...` I was able to determine which nodes have preflist/replica problems.
Two nodes in my cluster appear to have problems. Here are the partition mappings prior to adding the 7th node. I think things will improve after the 7th node (riak29) has joined the cluster (more on that below).

Hopefully adding another node to the cluster will resolve that issue. If that does not do it I'll try switching to claim v3. If my logic is correct, then you are also correct: it appears this problem has been present since a previous cluster transition. I reviewed the logs from the previous transition and I did not get "WARNING: Not all replicas will be on distinct nodes" after the final set of transfers, which incidentally involved riak21 (although it did appear earlier in the plan). Is it true that if that warning appears anywhere in the plan then it's a bad plan? Thank you again for the quick response!
