I had not yet triggered the initial encounter that begins the first quest. I jumped into the Heinlein system and saw the Watchtower ships begin to jump in. By begin, I mean a saw the grav jump FX and then went to my map and traveled to go rescue Betty Howser in the orbit of a different planet in the Heinlein system. I docked with her ship and recruited her and boarded back to my ship and could not undock from Betty's ship.
DumpInputEnableLayers showed me that layer 2 was a kgc no fast travel due to watchtower loaded layer.
ResetInputEnableLayer 2 allowed me to undock.
I was still prevented from fast traveling to any location with the exception of the original orbit where the watchtower initial encounter began. I returned to that orbit, and the initial encounter kicked off and ran normally, allowing me full control of travel after the encounter concluded.
Seems I somehow triggered a fast travel block and then fast traveled before the trigger finished implementing, thus stranding me in the wrong location. Seems like it would be a very rare bug requiring exceptionally precise timing, but I thought I would share here in case it's helpful.
