Folks,
So we've worked out that the workaround to the problem is to downgrade mutter-common - this problem recurs every single time I upgrade using apt, and I've rescued the PineNote (over SSH, which is much easier than using the UART) with the downgrade several times now.
I don't have access to the PineNote Matrix channel - is there any further discussion there of what the underlying problem might be? I gather the automatic upgrade is falling foul of the warnings about patched software at pinenote.mweigand.net. If the stock debian mutter-common (see below) works, then obviously it wasn't patched - so what's breaking?
Many thanks all.
I'm keeping the tail on this email as it is the answer people will come looking for:
try this first
then repeat
