Thank you, Franzen.

There is a bug in the default 14.2 Biber that has been fixed in newer
versions. I downloaded a copy of Biber-3.16 and am looking for instructions
on how to use it to upgrade the installed version.

The issue is when a record in the bibliographic database has a name value
with an apostrophe; e.g., '@Article{O'Conner,' because it has no closing
curley brace (that's at the end of the entire entry. Apostrophes in any
other key:value pair are accepted because the value is enclosed in curley
braces.

I'll take your advice and use Ponce's texlive-extra.
