I have had a play with a totally different part and that worked just fine!
It seems likely that the bogus property is the cause of the problem but I don't know what it is, how I came to set it or how to unset it. I am reluctant to start re-creating the body unless I know all those things - I'd most likely just do it again!
I'll really appreciate your help here.

Just use Part's Edit Attachment.

How did you get that property set ? The other Bodies in the file don't have it.
Maybe somewhat related is this thread: PartDesign, why is there no Attachment Offset in the Body?.

Re: Problem with linear assemble of identical bodies
You have me totally confused!
(1) Your image clearly shows Property View --> Attachment --> Map Mode as 'Deactivated'. How then can it be set?
(2) My FC version

has a different Property View from yours (this image refers to the body in question) I had a look at the Wiki [wiki]https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Property_editor[/wiki] and I can't find anything in my settings which would cause a problem.
(3) A search if the Wiki [wiki]https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Part_Part2DObject/en[/wiki] for anything related to 'Attachment Offset' gives me neither joy nor even satisfaction. This tells ME nothing,
DataAttachment Offset (Placement): the position of the object in the 3D view, with respect to the attachment object's placement. The placement is defined by a Base point (vector), and a Rotation (axis and angle).
(3) I cannot find any explanation of your phrase, '... the Body you're using has the AttacherExtension property set ...'.

Re: Problem with linear assemble of identical bodies
It is in the Data tab of the properties - look under them, now you are in the View tab.
In that Data tab.
Re: Problem with linear assemble of identical bodies
In the Data Tab Map Mode is Deactivated. The Attachment Dialog shows an Offset of -70 in the X direction (Yes, I have modified my Document.)
but that is greyed out, inactive, unattached. To my way of thinking it should have no effect.

Thanks, Zolko. That was it.
