The problem seems to lie in the fact that navsat_transform does not output any message when it detects a NaN in any one of the lat/long/altitude fields. However, I had inserted NaNs into my messages in the altitude field because the sensor_msgs API specified that a NaN should be inserted if the altitude information was not available. This caused the navsat_transform node to drop all the GPS messages and not output anything.
