Aw, piss.
The
Rapid Transit tailbag I talked about just a month ago:

has a big problem. I went to strap it on the motorcycle, and I noticed that the bungee cord didn't seem to have quite the same tension. I examined the bungee cords carefully, and found one of them was cut partway through!
From looking at it, it looks like the outer layer either frayed away, or something sharp in the bag snagged at it and cut it.
Today I had to ride to work with a backpack (ugh) and I'll be visiting the hardware store for a better bungee cord after work today.
