 Frustrated, I called CQ again.  This station called again, but so did
 someone else.  Answered the other guy, completed the QSO, then this guy
 calls yet again.  I send the exchange again - and this time he QSLs & we
 complete the QSO.

I wonder if it was the same, loud, well known contester that I had a similar
experience with in the NAQP? It sounds very sympotmatic of poorly executed
single-multi operation. Like Dirty Harry says, a man has got to know his
limitations.
