What causes the Mate icon to remain greyed out in an assembly file?
This odd behavior is one I've not seen before.

That's a suppressed mate. SW keeps changing the way they deal with mate
errors or warnings. I think they've reacted to a large group of "error
phobic" users. It used to be that errors caused errors. Now, errors cause
mates to suppress without warning so that the error doesn't show.

Usually just means they are suppressed, try right-clicking on one and
unsuppress it. If you are using configurations sw will by default suppress
mates that were created in a different configuration. You can change this
behaviour by editing the config properties.

According to SW help, mates with errors are suppressed but still display an
error symbol. To suppress w/o an error symbol would be a nasty prank to
play on us users.

What is greyed out is the Mate icon to the left of the Feature Manager
tree.
Closing SolidWorks and reopening does seem to "fix" it, but it may mean Uncl Billy Goat's Registry is bunged again.
