A workaround:

If the -at, -after, or -before are at the *end* of the list of options,
it will work.

The problem is down in the C code for HList (NewElement in tixHList.c).

copy:
if (n!=i) {
#if 0
/* FIXME */
objv[n] = objv[i];
objv[n+1] = objv[i+1];
#else
abort();
#endif

The #if 0/#else#/#endif weren't there in older versions. I'm not sure
why they were added but figured there was a good reason.
