Ah, I feel much better, I can even tell you precisely why I didn't do that.
There's about three sample entries in the .fvwm2rc95 file that *don't* do
this, and I can even remember thinking to myself "That's odd, I used to
need the "&" for ctwm, I obviously don't for fvwm." and did the same for
all my new entries.

Oh, the shame.

Many thanks. And if at any point in the future you need the blindingly 
obvious pointed out to you, I'll be happy to return the favour B-)
