PLEASE DISREGARD report given above.

There is no such bug; my calling syntax was incorrect. Section 8.5.7
"Coloring objects", corrects my problem as follows:

%%%%%%% BEGIN FIXED SNIPPET %%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.7.35"

\new Staff {
    \once \override NoteHead #'color = #(x11-color 'azure)
    c'4
 }

%%%%%%%% END SNIPPET %%%%%%%%%%%

User error; not a bug.
