It seems the problems lie elsewhere. I've updated the contents of
/boot/msdos to
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     1494 Jan  3 20:45 LICENCE.broadcom

(yes, rpi2.dtb is stale, but it seems not to matter)

A hands-off boot now looks like this:

It looks as if /boot/kernel loads but won't run, and /boot/kernel.spare, which
formerly ran, no longer does. Curiously, an intermediate kernel, which didn't
run, now loads and starts but halts with

In this case the red LED is off. 

The behavior of the status LEDs remains quite different from formerly.
Long-time behavior was a flash of red, then dark. Later, it's red on and
a flash of green, with red staying on until the kernel started and both
went dark. 

It's been pointed out that the RPI2 kernel is deprecated, and this is
an RPI2 kernel. Might that be at least part of the trouble?

Thanks for reading!
