I wonder if they over-corrected the straightening of the rear derailer
hanger. Might a too-inward alignment of a rear der hanger cause
auto-shifting in the front?

I wouldn't think so.

Maybe he replaced the
left one too. I tried a thorough cleaning but haven't greased the cable
under the BB yet though. Maybe the cable tension for the front shifter
cable is too tight?

Possibly. This exact thing was happening on my bike, but it was due to
the left downtube shifter not being installed tightly enough.

It seems I needed a new middle chain ring. I miss the days when different
smarties would suggest stuff like that.

made to do because he is still, in spite of all, the child of God. "
