The entire error is:

Fatal error: ob_start() [ref.outcontrol]: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in /var/www/wwwqh-ee/cms/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php on line 162

Now, what I’m really trying to do is show a div conditionally:

{if "{com-tab}" == "Show"}
    <div class="orangetab"> 
        <a href="http://{promo-lb-file}id=promo">_     {if "{tab-text2}" == ""}_  <div class="onelinetab">_      {tab-text1}_  </div>  _      {if:else}_  <div class="twolinetab">_                    {tab-text1}_                </div>  _                <div class="linetwotab">_                    {tab-text2}_                </div>   <!-- if there is a second line -->_     {/if}_        </a>
    </div>
{/if}

The odd thing here is I don’t know that this code is where the issue is, but I don’t know what this error is pointing me to!

What happens is, (with or without the anchor tag) I can simply edit the channel that I’m working with (in this case “community”), choose a record in that channel, make no changes, simply save the record, and reload the template/page - and I get this error.

Then, saving the template (or any template in that template group), again, with no changes, and reload the page, and it loads just fine.

Every time I save the channel record, I get the error, and every time I save a template, it fixes it.

Any ideas what’s happeing?

Issues like this can be difficult to debug.

First save a copy of the template somewhere locally.

Then you could try using the other syntax for the conditionals:

{if tab-text2 == ""}

If that doesn’t work I would start removing EE code one piece at a time. When you find exactly where the error is happening then take a look in the db at the field in question to see if there is something wrong there.
