Okay, I don't know what I did differently when I retried starting up the hotspot this time, other than running hostapd from the command line instead of as a daemon, but I was able to connect my phone to it with no problem. Speedtest.net shows the speed to be much slower than my internet speed, but my plans for the hotspot is mainly for transfer between local devices, so if that's fast enough I won't mess with it further.
