This is the only plant in an otherwise healthy 2 year old bed that looks like this. We've waged a winning war against some asparagus beetles/larvae over the summer. Perhaps this happened before we noticed them?

Any advice?

Obviously, it is diseased. Yank it out and throw it in the trash.
It could be a number of diseases.
Fusarium wilt, Cercospora blight, Rust to name a few.
Regarding Asparagus beetles: clean up around your plants at the end of the season and get rid of all of the dead fronds. You are probably doing that. :)
Good luck with your asparagus.
