The actual thing to solve the problem was to delete all fields that contained $0.00 and leave them blank. Unfortunately, I had to do one field at a time, for the 26 cells, as I was deep in the review process. Weird the way it jumps from cell to cell in a random fashion.
I do not know if I could have gone all the way back to the original 1095A entry screen to do it in bulk, by deleting one row worth and copying it down the remaining rows.
Also, there was another minor bug in that the Form 8962 did not check a box for which person was the 1095A for. I was able to manually do it directly in the Form 8962.
Anyway, the E-File proceeded apace and refund has already been credited to the bank account.
BTW: The phone support call was absolutely, hands-down, the worst experience ever. The person had zero clue about any of this.
