Deleting the partnership(s) did not make the
combine or replace prompt go away.
I did a replace at work, then a combine at home, and now things are back to syncing okay. The fallout is that some of my appointments now appear twice - but not all of them as I had feared. What I really needed was a "replace the data on the desktop" option, since my work calendar is the important one. I've had meeting notices get converted to appointments before and it creates all kinds of problems!
Microsoft really needs to improve that dialog box so it explains that "combine" actually includes duplicate checking, and add a "help" button that provides some background info on the problem.
So I guess the short answer is if you start getting that first-sync
combine or replace message unexpectedly,
replace the data on the PPC from the most important desktop, then
combine the data from the PPC with the second desktop, then clean up whatever mess that made.
