On line 411 of check-model.c, when I build from that snapshot, is:
        else if (lex_match_hyphenated_word (lexer, "PROGRESS"))
which doesn't match the reported error message.  When I try a
compile, I don't get that error (or any error).

That's really weird too.  It's like your source file is
corrupted.

Once in a while I've seen this kind of problem when "make -j" is
used and a Makefile has insufficient dependencies.  Are you using
"make -j"?  If so, does the error disappear if you drop the -j
from the make command line?

That matches the symptoms above, and the underlying problem is
probably the same.
