Cannot copy prefabs across projects.
Even if I have copied everything the prefab needs (scripts, models, materials, shaders, etc.) before the prefab itself is copied, the copied prefab will just show up as a blank file.

I don't think you can just copy paste prefabs like that. Creating a prefab creates a .prefab binary file with references to the scripts used, but I guess Unity doesn't store the name of the components, it probably stores some ID of each component in the project. The same script in another project probably has a different internal ID, so the references in the .prefab file don't work.
If you want to reuse a prefab in another project follow this guide: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-exportpackage.html
