Just wanted to bring the thread to a close for the benefit of future sufferers.
I got myself a new DI cassette and new plugs but it didn't make a difference. So I finally threw in the towel and took it to a shop (Independent Autocraft in Crystal Lake, IL)
The prognosis was the head gasket. They found it by detecting hydro-carbons in the coolant expansion tank. Rather than follow Quasi's cautious advice about over-torquing the head bolts I have given my indie the go ahead to do the job to a tune of $1000. Them's the breaks.
For anybody else who found this post in a desperate post, the summary for reasons for one cylinder missing is (least expensive to most):
Spark plugs
DI cassette
Fuel Injector
Head Gasket
I guess my old 900 went to 200k without the head gasket leaking so I was due!
