No that wasn't it at all actually.  I just encountered the bug again
and it turns out the problem is with posting answers containing links.
I apparently need 10 karma to be able to do that, and without it it
just refuses to display the answer (however, there is no message as to
why).

However, a silly workaround is that I can post the answer without
links and then edit it afterwards.  It still won't create a hyperlink,
but I can at least put the URL in the text.
