Just wanted to update.
I ended up re-installing Mobian (this time to internal eMMC). The problem has gone away, of course.
I would have liked to know why it happened though. I do recall maybe borking something during one apt update (by allowing screen to time out maybe?) when I was first starting out. In fact I suspect I may have broken Debian (it certainly wouldn't have been the first time!
). I didn't take any notes at that time, so I guess now I will never really know.
Well, onward and upward...

ssh server is not installed by default (at least on Mobian). So I have installed it now. And I also have written JumpDrive to an old, tiny SD card I had laying around (as JumpDrive itself is quite small). So I now have 2 potential recovery methods next time (inevitably...) something goes sideways.
