For some reason, 5.10-rc2 fixed all of this up.  I backed out all of the
patches I had to revert to get 5.10-rc1 to work properly, and then did
the merge and all is well.

It must have been something to do with the compat changes in this same
area that went in after 5.10-rc1, and something got reorganized in the
files somehow.  I really do not know, and at the moment, don't have the
time to track it down anymore.  So for now, I'd say it's all good, sorry
for the noise.
