Having trouble embossing text

In this document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7d56489440e818e2151cff6b/w/f6d15c91dedc536a400745fe/e/634b8976ea2ed00957004a8d I'm trying to emboss text into the design. I'm getting the error "Boolean operation failed to return a valid part."
I've done this successfully in this nearly-identical document:. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/235c7bd416a26b6523d81221/w/327c39f03cfe9e6e85b0e6d7/e/6da6c986213e2d482ec6dc79?renderMode=0&uiState=69e6d2ba307af23352c3bfda).
Here are the things I've confirmed between the two documents:
• Both "Template" sketches are on the Front plane.
• Both "Extrude Template" extrusions extrude "Faces of Template" back from the Front plane.
• Both "Text" sketches are on the Front plane.
• Both "Extrude Text" extrusions extrude "Faces of Text", are set to Solid/Remove, and extend in the same direction as the "Extrude Template" extrusions.
I can't figure out what the difference is that makes one work and the other not work.
