I left my test setup for about an hour to do some other things and when I got back to it found that the hotspot had gone dead at some point, the laptop could no longer connect to it until the hotspot was stopped and restarted on the phone. Then I was able to connect with the same result - from the laptop, pinging the gateway works and additionally it was able to ping to the wwan0 IP address (cellular modem) on the phone but of course still no internet access. So it looks like this is a feature that is a work in progress, which is certainly fair enough at this stage of development.
