Ah ha!

Well all of this suffering could have been avoided,

if in the News file, it just said that, instead of saying:

     ** Emacs now optionally displays a fill column indicator.
     This is similar to what 'fill-column-indicator' package provides, but
     much faster and compatible with 'show-trailing-whitespace'.

     Customize the buffer-local user options 'display-fill-column-indicator'
     and 'display-fill-column-indicator-character' to activate the
     indicator.

     The indicator is not displayed at all in minibuffer windows and
     in tooltips, as it is not useful there.

     There are 2 new buffer local variables and 1 face to customize this
     mode, they are described in the manual "(emacs) Display".

without ever mentioning display-fill-column-indicator-mode.

Indeed the relative Help and INFO pages I mentioned don't mention it either.
