Phal. Repotting Problem

I've read so many threads on caring for Phals. but can't figure out what's wrong with this one.

I just repotted several phals. after flowering. Only one seems to be stressed. The top leaf feels like soft leather and drooping. The new leaf starting is splitting as it grows - it almost looks like 2 leaves. Can't figure out why all the others are fine and this one seems sick. No bugs, no rot, good roots, humidity about 50-60%.

The only odd thing that happened recently is our wacky weather. About ten days ago, it was 77F for two days, then back down to freezing - hard on all the plants without a greenhouse. This is about the time I repotted. Since all my other phal. repots have been very successful, I'm not sure what to make of it. Any suggestions? What does the softer, droopy leaf mean?
