Overriding user_action.jsp failing after upgrading to Liferay 7.3 - liferay

Question

We implemented a corejsphook module to customize user_action.jsp in Liferay 7.0.6, which worked fine.
After upgrading to Liferay 7.3.6 it stopped working. I have made sure the module that we are replacing the jsp into is correct by searching for it in the gogo shell. I also looked at the source code to confirm the package that contains the .jsp is right. And I updated the version number to the Liferay 7.3 bundle version (5.0.53). The entry in my bnd.bnd is:
Fragment-Host: com.liferay.users.admin.web;bundle-version="5.0.53"
When I deploy the module, it does not restart the fragment host bundle as it should (and did in Liferay 7.0). Restarting that bundle manually doesn't work either - the modified .jsp isn't used.
As a side note, we have other corejsphooks that work fine. This is the only one that doesn't work, so I must be missing something here.
Update: I am including the code as requested. Here are the four files in the module (not counting the default files like build.gradle and Language_en.properties that are created when the module is created) in the module.
bnd.bnd
Bundle-Version: 7.3.6.1
Fragment-Host: com.liferay.users.admin.web;bundle-version="5.0.53"
-sources: true
-jsp: *.jsp,*.jspf
user_action.jsp

Update:
I have started from scratch, but I'm getting the same result.
I created a new module using:
$ blade create -t fragment gov.nysdot.user-action-hook --host-bundle-symbolic-name com.liferay.users.admin.web --host-bundle-version 5.0.53
I then copied user_action.jsp from source (/modules/apps/users-admin/users-admin-web/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/user_action.jsp).
To test, I simply duplicated the separator line at line 156 () so that I'd have a visual clue. If the override worked I'd see two separator lines.
I built with 'grade build' and deployed to my server. It did not restart the com.liferay.users.admin.web bundle, and no changed were present.
Now, there are practically no changes from what the module creation script created.

Answer 1

What strikes me in your code/description:
The jsp is a module's jsp, not a core jsp. Thus I wouldn't expect a CustomJspBag, but rather follow the module_jsp_override sample
A fragment bundle will never be ACTIVE, only RESOLVED (as in OSGi bundle lifecycles). Thus, it can deliver files that override a host bundle's files, but none of its own code. You're providing separate services, that certainly wouldn't be available and started - they should live in other bundles. Consider a fragment bundle as passive.
Thus, without turning your files into a project to try, I'd assume that this is the problem at hand.
Convert the bundle to a module-jsp-override project (no java code, pay attention to bnd.bnd). Make sure that the JSP is still what it needs to be: You can't just copy the 7.0 JSP to 7.3 and assume that those changes still accurately implement what you need. Rather, you'll need a 3-way-merge between the stock 7.0 version, your modifications, and the stock 7.3 jsp.
